    ***S-Line Front Bumper Conversion Thread***

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have received many requests on the details regarding the S-Line front bumper conversion. I have done extensive research on the topic and pretty much have every detail figured out. The bumper is a direct fit around the hood and fenders. However, you will need some additional hardware to make the install 100% OEM.




    Parts that are needed:

    • x1 S-Line Bumper Cover:. Primed: 8K0 807 105 D GRU
    • x1 S-Line Fog Grille - Left:. w/ Chrome Ring: 8K0 807 681 C 01C | w/ Matte Black Ring: 8K0 807 681 C ZDE
    • x1 S-Line Fog Grille - Right:. w/ Chrome Ring: 8K0 807 682 C 01C | w/ Matte Black Ring: 8K0 807 682 C ZDE
    • x1 S-Line Splitter/Spoiler:. Platinum Grey: 8K0 807 110 1RR | Matte Black: 8K0 807 110 3FZ | Matte Alu (S4): 8K0 807 110 A2ZZ
    • x1 S-Line Vertical Slats:. 8K0 807 899
    • x3 S-Line Splitter Expansion Plugs:. N 038 549 1
    • x1 S-Line End Plate:. 8K0 807 233 B
    • x10 Screw:. WHT 005 764




    Install Notes:

    End Plate:

    The S-Line End-Plate is not 100% necessary. The non-sline end plate fits, but you have to bend it in certain places to force it to fit. All original hardware can be used to install the S-Line End Plate.
    Here is what the interior of the S-Line bumper looks like with non-sline end plate:



    Notice how the end plate is bent/contorted into a forced fit.

    How the interior of the S-Line bumper looks like with the S-Line end plate:






    Splitter + Vertical Slats + Expansion Plugs

    The Splitter is one of my favorite aspects of the S-Line bumper. Basically, the S-Line bumper has a removable splitter that comes in 3 different colors (listed in parts list). In addition, various tuning companies have created carbon fiber splitters, etc.

    The S-Line bumper cover has a plastic piece that runs from either end of the "protrusions" of the bumper that is used to secure the splitter. The splitter slides over this piece and is installed with 4 of the above screws. Once the splitter is installed, the vertical slats can be installed. The horizontal plastic piece that the three slats protrude from fits on the back of the bumper directly below the grille. There are tabs, etc, which align this piece for you. The three vertical slat protrusions are secured behind the splitter. You will use 6 screws to install the vertical slats - 3 for the top and 3 for the bottom.

    The 3 expansion plugs secure the center part of the splitter. These plugs are inserted from the bottom part of the splitter towards the top. Once the plug is inserted, push the plastic cylinder protrudes from the flat part of the plug to secure it. This plastic cylinder causes the teeth of the plug to expand creating a secure fit.

    Here is a picture (credit: dkky996) that shows the splitter, vertical slats, and expansion plugs installed:

    That's all I can think of right now, I will update this post as new questions arise...

    Great thread. Have to say from our experience the splitter doesn't look bad without the "teeth" installed either. Also, the part number comes with 3 teeth so only order one. They seem to be the most misplaced/lost item by body shops as well :(

    Thanks for this thread Nick, I'm sure it will help a lot of people like you helped me.

    For comparison sake, I think S Line is worth it.

    Just realized the P/N for the screws cannot be found on genuine. I will cross check the number - I am pretty sure it is correct though.
    The weird thing is it is not listed in ETKA for the front bumper. I tried basically every screw listed on the bumper section of ETKA and couldn't find the correct one. (I knew what it was should look like because I saw them on an S4) I don't know how the parts guy at my dealership came up with the number, but he did. I still have the plastic bag the screws came in so I'll run out to the garage and check that.

    Just FYI, total price according to genuine is ~$950 including shipping.

    I believe you are talking about the vertical slats. The part number is posted in my original post... (You only need to order one, all three are connected in one piece...)

    no, they will absolutely not fit.
    Non S-Line fog light grilles are completely different shape than S-Line fog light grilles. That is why S-Line front bumper looks so much better. Vertical teeth, 3 on S-Line, 4 on non S-Line, not a big deal.
    I 'converted' my fog light grilles back in 7/10 from non to S-Line


    For 75-100 hours time converting per fog grille and purchasing S-Line fog grilles (approx. $45-$55 each IIRC) IMO better to spend extra money and do complete S-Line bumper conversion as NPuter here has done
    Old over-exposed pic, sorry, only one I've got.

    It's called a strap: 8K0 807 899. When you look at it on ETKA illustration 807-00 it will be number 23 which can be a bit misleading. Also bolts that are labeled 22 will be diffrent (shorter) for S-Line.
