I have just done it and yes you do need a new bonnet! different fog lamps, the plugs need changing for the fog lamps a new crossmember a pair of fog lamp grills!

I could possibly get all the part numbers you need if that helps?

Cheers Nick

part numbers would be great that way atleast we know what exactly we are looking for, thanks

any chance of a before and after photos?

Perhaps this should be a pinned/sticky post because every 3 months there are questions regarding the conversion.

Hi Nick

Thanks for posting that...can you advise on overall cost and is it the 3-door A3 you carried out your converiosn on??

ALso any pics if possible?? Did you carry out the converison yourself?

Hi guys i am working on getting all the part numbers
These are trade prices as I work in a bodyshop,
I had to buy:
Bonnet £140
both fog lamp grilles £17 each
one fog lamp(i had a spare) £50 (these are identical to a4 s line ones)
both washer jet covers £17 each
tow eye covers £11
front bumper off ebay with grille £180
Then you need fog lamp plugs (these are optional as you can make some looms with a small amount of wire and some terminals) £4 each

you can get the front crossmember but you can fit the bumper without changing it(you have to put a small amount of pressure on the middle to fit)

As for pics I have them but am unsure how to post them??

Hope this helps Cheers Nick
