Ways of reducing the weight of our cars
the bruce:
Audi S3: 8P0 807 113 D (80 € in Germany) - requires some modification GTI bumper/grill
There are some manufacturers cutting Lexan and bending it to the reight shape for common cars.
Even with a black frame to cover the glue and as an option with a hard laquer to prevent scratches.
(similar to the Golf's headlights)

This is the closest I've found >
Uploaded with ImageShack.us and it's with ''B'' at the end. The code for GTI one is 1K5 807 109 E. What do you need to modify on the GTI bumper/grill so that the A3/S3 side reinforcement bar fits our cars ?
the bruce:
I didn' try it yet. I just had held the A3 bar when I had my bumper removed
(for fitting the Votex splitter).
I don't think that the GTI bumper has to be modified. But the A3/S3 bar has to.
The GTI steel bar has a bracket on top in the middle to hold the grill. I don't
know if this is really needed. I it is, it must be cut from steel bar and screwed
to the aluminum bar.
The second point is the tow ring. There are some differences as well. But still
no big problem.

- caliper carrier > 818g

Bruce, I have the opportunity of switching the bars with an A3. Hopefully all will go well and I will make some pics. Did you make any progress with it ?
