Is it possible ?

Hi all. Hope you’re all well.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to have the honeycomb grill and bumper to replace this style.

Was it not covered in you previous thread? https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/advice-needed.392234/#post-3445303

You have the first of the 8P's which was styled on the previous 8L. The bumper/grille you have (split grille) was changed as part of the 1st face-lift around the MY55 reg. You can put the face-lift bumper on as your car sits, but getting the honeycomb grill is the difficulty.

If you do a full face-lift to > 2008MY, you'll need loads of stuff including guards, bonnet, slam panel, lights, coding.

Ah no this isn’t the same as mine. Mine is where the grill is one separate part. However I looking at a poss 3.2 v6 for the future and see most of them with this bumper

Sarah did this conversion to her twin grill 3.2 a while back

You must be looking at the bottom end of the market then as my 05 has the one piece grill

It's not a bottom end of the market thing. The first of the 8P's came with this split grille which was changed from the about the MY55 model. If you on a 05MY then it may be a late build. It's possible the 3.2 carried this split grille for longer, I don't know.

I should have clarified, by bottom end I meant year.

The split grille went in 05, although some may have slipped through the net. I have seen a 54 plate with the full grille. And mine wasn’t a late build it was registered in the March.
