2006 Audi A8 4.2 TDI - S8 front retrofit/conversion - PLEASE HELP

[kaspermc83]

Hi all,

 

I own a 2006 Audi A8L 4.2 TDI (original single frame) and would like to do a S8 retrofit/conversion.

 

My local certified Audi dealer tells me that they are not sure that the S8 front will fit my 4.2 TDI because of some differences behind the fender/spoiler. But they are not 100% sure.

 

I found a few guys on the internet saying that it is indeed possible, but they don't tell if it's a direct fit or if some bigger changes are needed.

 

This guy successfully did it to a 4.2 TDI like mine, and I tried sending him an PM but no answer:

Also this seller tells me that it fits my model, but don't give any further details:

Can anyone confirm that the original D3/4E Audi S8 front will fit my 2006 4.2 TDI (original single frame) ?

 

Any comments/help will be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks!

Sorry, not a clue.

 

I would have thought there were enough people on various forums that might have retrofitted with info, so it is probably a case of trawling through for more info and (hopefully) finding more helpful people that those above.
