S-Line Valence for Non S-Line Bumper (B8 A4) Finest Car Art

**LoveMyA4** · 03-01-2014 10:16 PM

Up for sale is a very rare dual left exhaust S-Line style valence built specifically for the non S-Line bumper of a B8 A4. This valence was built in Germany by Finest Car Art (FCA). I bought it as part of a group buy on AZ back in December 2012. If you've followed the thread on this group buy, you would know that a lot of fabrication and prep work had to go into making these valences presentable. Below are pictures of the valence when I first received it, after I had it finished at my body shop and finally with it mounted on my car.

Just to be clear, you do not need an S-Line bumper for this valence, and this valence will not fit an S-Line bumper. FCA takes the genuine OE rear valence and builds up the edges of the valence, sands and prepares the valence for professional finishing. I had the valence painted gloss black, which will nicely compliment any car color. Very few people have this valence, so you can be fairly certain that you will not see another B8 A4 with this particular style of valence (which IMHO looks more aggressive than the regular S-Line valence).

The valence is in excellent condition. In fact, the pictures below are an accurate representation of how the valance looks even after 8 months of use. There is a very small hair line crack in the paint in one section that resulted from mounting the valence (see pic below). It is fairly superficial and hard to notice once mounted. All of the mounting tabs are in place and fully functional. I am only selling it because I upgraded to a Stasis dual single outlet exhaust.

I paid $430 CND for the valence itself (including shipping and import charges) and an additional $250 for my body shop to finish it (thus totaling $680). I am asking $450 for it now. Given the size of the valence, preference will be given to local cash sale. If there’s no local interest, I will accept PayPal (plus PayPal fees) and will ship at buyer’s expense. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for your interest. I'm not a 100% sure, but I would suspect that the B8.5 non-Sline valence is different from 09-12 given the redesigned bumper. Looking at the valences sold on ECS Tuning for the B8, they reference "pre-facelift (09-12)" for their products. Given that reference, I suspect valences are different for the 2013 and up. To know for sure, I would suggest calling a dealer parts department to inquire. Hope that helps.
