yes
I can see what you mean, but I have (by mistake) bought the hood. Soo I thought it would be fine if it could fit. I have studied the two pictures, for me it seems like the dimensions on the two hoods are the same, but the only difference is the grill, that is a bit smaller on the facelifted model!!
Could I be right or am I completely wrong?? Last edited by hkallas; 4th June 2009 at 09:36 PM.

To get your hood to fit you will have to change the wings, headlights and front bumper. Talk to A8parts and they will be all to happy to help. The bonnet is by far the most expesive part and the job is not that difficult to do.

shape
And for me the shape of the wings seems to be different only near the lights at the sides. The rest seems identical. Look at the picture of the two cars here.

It's a big job fella, and I wonder if it might be worth you trading in your bonnet for one from A8Parts?
Keeps the cost down, and is by far and away a lot less hassle Also don't forget, that if you're a member of the A8 Owners Club you get free shipping

as stated a few times already it will not fit a PF there are a few differences that mean the there will be gaps where there shouldn't be for exsample there is a larger cut out on a facelift bumper that the bonnet sits into so your bigger bonnet wont fit into your pre facelift bumper and other things mentioned above
