Default Want the 2.0T... and the S-line bumpers/valence

I am an American, preparing to move to Germany around Feb of next year. I am building a US Spec Q5 2.0t for European Delivery. In America, the 2.0 cannot receive the S-line exterior, but Europeans can. Does anyone know how one would go about arranging the exterior package?

I care about the gas mileage; I don't care about the power difference. The looks of the basic Q5 here in the states is just not what I want.

Thoughts?

You could purchase S-Line bumpers, Skirts, and the Grill when you get to Germany. Most of the time I see the rear bumper on ebay.de for 199 euro already painted.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like the grill and rear bumper can be sourced this way - no front bumper or side skirts.

This LINK listed exactly what I was looking for. Audi will do it for 9k! Euro price will send me the parts for around 2500, which isn't terrible. It's sad because this is offered precisely where I'll be, but I'll have to pay bunch more for it.

Why don't you just buy one in Germany?

If you are moving to Germany for the US military as a soldier or Civilian you might want to check Military sales it might be cheaper than European delivery.

I should have been clear; I am in the military and purchasing through Auto Exchange (authorized Audi military direct sales). Still, it doesn't change how annoying this is.
