    Is the B8.5 A5 Sline Rear Bumper Will Fit B8 A5?

    I find a used part which is B8.5 A5 Sline rear bumper with valance. I plan to get the new B8 S5 rear bumper recently because I want to a quad exhaust. So I just wanna know if the part will fit my car.

    Pictured bumper is a B8 S5 with quad valence. Is that the one you're getting?

    The bumper in the picture will fit because it is a B8, The actual B8.5 will "fit" everywhere except your tail lights, where the pre-facelift tails will appear slightly recessed. Best bet is to go with the B8 S5 bumper.

    Or you could get the B8.5 bumper now, upgrade to the Facelift tailights, and install both together. Other than the taillights, the bumper will fit.

    the lower parts are diff. valances are diff.

    so if you are planning to get FL tails, then I would wait out and get the FL bumper so it all matches up. as others have said, the FL bumper does not match up 100% with pre fl tails, and fl tails does not match up 100% with pre fl bumper

    So, the bumper in picture is B8's bumper. It cannot fit the B8.5's tail lights. Is that correct?
