They *may* not fit since one of the changes is a new front wing.

See graphics in the link below for changes.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vwvortex.com/news/index_a3_01.html">http://www.vwvortex.com/news/index_a3_01.html</a</li></ul>

Hi,

I am 21 years old, 3rd year pharmacy student in Leeds UK.
I currently drive 1.8T Passat and will be part-exchanging for a 2001 A3 in the very near future.

Default Hi Raven...(More inside...)

Hi there,

I live in Holland, 27yrs old.
I'm a Lotus Notes Consultant/Web Developer.
I Really Like Audi's, my girlfriend wanted a Alfa Romeo 156
but i decided to take an Audi A3 again...

I had a black 1999 A3 1.6 Attraction...and now I bought a
Silver 1.6 Attraction
Red Leather (like porsche)
16" BBS RV Wheels
Exclusive Plus Package (Airco etc.)
Sports shocks

It will be delivered around July 20th...

So I am very pissed they didn't tell me about the upcoming
facelift. I think the frontlights are the best parts of the facelift and I hope
they fit...

What makes you think they won't fit ?
The shape stays the same, only the light will be
1 part instead of 2 parts...
