I believe these are the parts for the lower rear bumper valance - non-S8 BUT DOUBLE CHECK! one of these might be off by a digit because when I ordered them, I ended up with TWO of the same side chrome exhaust tip or inner parts, forget which, dealer fixed it quickly, was my fault I think

4H0253825C-$266.40
4H0253826C-$266.40
4H0807363A-$115.20 each (2 required)
4H0807521BGRU-$280.80
Total-$1044

Doing an "RS" style front bumper. Almost finished.
Lowered a bit with H&R module. Probably going to sell that and go a different route though.
Keep debating between 21 and 22" wheels because the roads around here are not that great. Either a forged monobloc or two piece wheel.

I say wheels, good tint, clear bra and a tune. If you're thinking anything else then save for S8. Then you can also transfer the wheels over when ready.

I have a white A8 and didnt want to shell out the $$$ for the panoramic roof. But as i began to see white cars with those roofs or black wrapped roofs, I decided to get a gloss black roof wrap .Wow! Car looks amazing, the A8 lines are perfect for it. Best $300+ I ever spent on a car. Looks best on a white car IMO

oh ya, Tint was the 1st thing i did so the black roof and dark tint on the white body makes the car look great

Default I added complementary LEDs to match the headlights....

...on the bottom part of the bumper/grill, inboard of the oval radomes, on the middle slat. Looks awesome imho.

I expect to see those aftermarket LEDs on old Japanese imports... Whenever I see them on older S class I always laugh. But this... I want to cry.

I am normally one to say "it's your car do as you wish"
But you're right - those led strips belong on a 1989 Honda

20% tints, calipers painted red, and mirrors wrapped in matte metallic silver... thinking about getting the front bumper lip in the same silver wrap, I saw one online looked slick
