Default Can I swap 2011 q7 s line front bumper for the 2015 q7 s line sport bumper




2011 s line bump swap





For this 2015 s line sport bumper.. What does it require to swap bumpers and where can I find it and does anyone know the part number if so?

You would have to retrofit fender flares as well, and the rear bumper. Or else it won't look right. There would be a gap on between the bumper, and fender flares because the the V12 bumpers give the Q7 a wide body effect. It is possible, it would be expensive though.

About £6500 in parts from Audi.
You also need a new light switch and to code out the front fog lights.

then on top of that a quality paint job which is going to be around $450 for the flares, $1100 for both bumpers. $1550+tx or so on top of the raw body parts.

The only logical way of going about this would be to find a flood salvage vehicle. And even then, who want to put salvage parts on their vehicle. I wouldn't, especially a flood salvage. There is no cheap way of going about this. People have done it though. Recently there was a V12 fully converted 2008 4.2 Premium for sale in Toronto.












From the pictures you can see that the panels don't align perfectly, but converting to the V12 body kit is possible with enough time and money.

That white one doesn't match as firstly its a bumper only conversion, there are no fender flares on there as the give away is the bottom of the back doors and the bottoms of the front fenders in front of the door.
When they have the kit on both the parts have an extra lip to join to the flares.

I would say it is a cheap copy bumper set.

Keep your hands off this but this is a genuine set.
