WANTED: Front bumper with lower valance or just the valance

[RICKY D]

As per the title, I’m after a complete front bumper including the lower valance, or I’ll take just the lower valance if available for a 2002 FL A8/S8.

[Ronin]

I have a brand new FL1 lower valance, still in packaging for £120 + delivery

[RICKY D]

Will this work with mine being a 2002? I’m not very familiar with FL1/FL2 differences.

[MikkiJayne]

Unfortunately not. FL1 and FL2 are different. FL2 A8 and S8 are also different, obviously the S8 version being more expensive because they cut a bit off it.

I didn’t even realise there was a difference between A8 and S8 FL bumpers!

I might be better just seeing if the garage can plastic weld the lower part of the bumper.

I showed it in the Barnfind FE thread. The A8 has a lip on the trailing edge - an airdam of sorts. The S8 version has this cut off (literally sawn off) to allow for the brake cooling ducts in the undertray. If you're adept with a jigsaw you could make one from the other.

The FL1 will actually fit the upper bumper, but unfortunately to swap over you also need the FL1 fog lights and grilles which are even harder to find.
