A6 S-Line rear diffuser on SE

[w3st05]

Hi there

Just got my first A6 SE packed full of extras but it's just missing something... The S-Line trim :)

It looks like the rear diffuser from the S-Line will fit on the SE. I have measured and from what I can tell the bumpers are the same?

Does anyone know if this is a straight swap?

Cheers

I was driving behind a s line this afternoon and i would say it looks pretty similar fitting (not exact granted!)

Best off calling a dealer though as they will confirm.

what year is it....Ive got an A6 S Line I think its pretty same because I did some SE before my purchase and all looks very similar...even the twin exhausts

[w3st05]

It's a 2012.

The dealer couldn't confirm but did say the part numbers for the SE and S-Line bumpers are different :(

Tape measure says it should fit though, I guess the only way is to get one and try it

On the 2012 C7 isnt the exhaust on either side of the car? I imagine the SE model has both twin tail pipes together?

[w3st05]

Both the SE and the S-Line C7 have twin exhausts together on the left. Well the Avant does which is what I have.

Just a word of caution, I know the mud flaps only fit the SE and not the S-Line so there must be some difference to the rear bumper shape.

They fit sline models too! Don't listen to Audi about that! ;)

My A6 Sline has one exhaust per side

V6 models have pipes both sides on the c7

S-Line side skirts and rear diffuser ordered so I'll be able to tell you soon if it fits or not :)

I am interested in the comment that the mud flaps fit both SE and S-line - do you know this because you have actually fitted the mud flaps to a S-line?

[TopherGeorge]

I am afraid this does not fit. I asked about getting this done from Audi and an independent dealer on my car when I had the SE. I now have the S-line and I can confirm at the bumper is different and the diffuser will not fit on the car. Sorry

Free to a good home. One slightly used S line rear diffuser. May have slight scuffing and warping. Oh, and might need a little re-shaping. Red Citroen paint an added bonus. ;)

TopherGeorge is yours a 2012? They said I can return it if I need to or just get a whole bumper :)

[w3st05]

Still no sign of the parts :( Must be coming from Germany and stuck in the Xmas post!

Those are A5 wheels on the first one

ok cheers, i thought a5 wheels were all 9"which wouldnt fit the new A6...

[Guest 2]

No idea to be honest!

[w3st05]

Black one is mine but I almost bought the other one.

[w3st05]

Well the diffuser and one side skirt has arrived, also turns out there is an addition trim needed for the diffuser. What they dont tell you that when you order :(

Any way the good news is looks like the diffuser will fit :)

That is odd about my wheels, I did wonder what you couldn't select them on the Audi's website. Do you think it's could be an issue?

Cheers

[Guest 2]

The wheels have been added from the previous owner I'm guessing.

It's not an issue but check if they're genuine rims and not reps as reps have been peeved not to be as strong reading articles online in the past.

bump :)
How did this one go (hope well!)? Could you post some pics/experience maybe?

[w3st05]

It went well actually :) Side skirts went straight on. The rear diffuser took a bit of "bumper adjustment" and a couple of self tappers but looks perfect.21153
