06 A8 to S8 bumper conversion

Hey guys,
Got an 06 A8. Had a little fender bender recently and decided to upgrade to an S8 Bumper cover and Grille. I bought all the parts from the dealer but a guy from the shop told me that im going to need some sort of "kit" to make it work.. I doubt that its true, just wanna double check with the real pros

Yes, you will need those grilles and fog lights too. Even if you are not using newer looking rectangular ones you still can't use A8 fog lights. And that's about it.

I cant find "edit" function.
Just wanted to add - if you are using those rectangular ones then you don't need anything more besides those grilles.

I've bought mine from dealer. They seemed such a must for me, i just loved the looks. I have seen some aftermarket products for sale (Hofele) but the price is about the same as the dealer offers.
