    Hood Overbite?

    Does your S3 have an overbite? Mine did until I loosened three Torx screws and moved the grill/bumper assembly forward about 3/8" so that the top of the grill now aligns with the front edge of the hood. Looks a lot better to me now. Check it out next time you look at the front edge of your hood. I've looked at a couple of other S3's and they are the same - the hood hangs over and past the top of the grill. Not sure about A3's but I suspect they have the same condition. Perhaps this is intentional but I don't see a good reason why.

    Wow, I have a 2015 S3 and I do have that overbite. Then again, I don't know if I should be messing with it. Great eye! .

    I don't seem to have permission to post pics. The interesting thing is that it's pretty clear that Audi intended for this to be somewhat adjustable. The three screws under the front of the hood that need to be loosened to adjust the grill position are in slotted holes with adjustment markings...
