US Style
 
I'm building a list of parts for getting my front bumper resprayed and torn between going US or EU style front end.

We all know what the EU style is.
The US has side markers and different levels of front plate.

I like the look but not sure if its something I could live with, I'm still deciding but wondering what your views are and if anyone has any alternatives.

Here's some pics of the American front ends.

As one of the many people who have invested time and effort eliminating orange from our car exteriors (de-tangoing) I personally don't like the side markers.

The '8 with the big grill looks like a PF model with an aftermarket big grill. It could be the Hofele design.

I do like their different levels of front plate, but not the orange sides.

The yank style plate or no plate is definite.

Can't decide on the markers.
mate has a A3 with them in yellow and they look good, he's not fitted ones and it looks even better.

But can't find white ones for the A8.


I don't know!!
