Default 2013 A8L front lip

Hey fellas. Anyone know of a place I can buy a front lip for my A8? It's looking pretty bare! Thanks.

ABT has a front lip I've been looking at picking up. Outside of the Hofele front bumper I haven't seen any quality parts or anything for that matter.

You're right...I haven't seen any mods available anywhere except the facelift you speak of. Just looked at the abt lip you mentioned and it looks great. $1500 for a painted lip is steep!

I wouldn't buy the lip painted. Get it to your body shop to make sure it's prep'd right. The abt didn't have enough style to justify the price. The hofele bumper is good, but you can't just spray it out of the box. Needs prep work and such.

The moshammer rear is a nice diffuser. Have contemplated that too.

The S8 bumper I can't seem to source for a price I wanna pay lol I'm looking at lightly used OEM S8 bumpers on eBay which I can do the body work myself but then again I really don't wanna do it. I've seen europrice have the S8 front for +$2k and that's before shipping and paint and I may as well get the Hofele bumper for an extra stack and have it look more aggressive.

Just go to a body shop that will be doing the work. They can just order the bumper. They are usually like sub 800 for the cover. The trim pieces may add some more to that. The audi parts shouldn't require much prep compared to aftermarket.
Should be one of these https://parts.audiusa.com/a/Audi_201...S/1362005.html

Thanks for the link. Item 10 in the diagram is listed as "spoiler" and runs $750 so I'm assuming that's the chrome strip that runs the width of the S8 bumper?
