RS3 diffuser on an S3?? Straight swap ??

[Daniel James]

Hi all,

picked up an S3 and not really a fan of the grey / silver look of the rear diffuser … before I think about taking it off and having it painted gloss black, I’ve seen a few RS3 diffusers for sale .. is this a straight swap ?

I have a 63plate pre facelift 8v and the diffusers I’ve seen are also pre facelift 8v

not a huge fan of the maxton design one want to keep it OEM+

If anyone’s done it before and has pictures / advice would be greatly appreciated

It's unlikely.
Check out xenonz-uk. They have some RS3 look diffusers for the S3 bumper: https://www.xenonz.co.uk/audi-a3-s3-8v-2012-2015-products.html

Ah that’s a shame not really a massive fan of the ones on there

Don't they look exactly as the RS3 ones?

Think they like step out a little more and sit less flush as such
