I disagree that its "ruined" I think thats a bit strong, and rather than "pre-facelift" (which is a split upper and lower pair of grilles) they've used earlier facelift lower foglight grills and foglights, which is "wrong" for an 09 plate of course but the car doesnt look terrible, I'd be using that fact to get the price down and showing them pics of the correct ones if I was trying to buy it!

its just wrong and an insult to the A8 imho
what else have they scrimped on i wonder behind that wrong grill :rolleyes:

Ad says "UPRATED STEREO". I guess it had NO stereo before! The standard one is abysmal.

Couldn't it be earlier year car that was only first registered in 09?

I considered that, but the interior looks facelift too...... Makes it far less likely.

Quite a drop in price from the £8,895 displayed further down.

It's not too bad really, it's not as if he's stuck S8 badges on a diesel for example..which would be criminal :tuttut:
