I am interested in installing the sline rear bumper lower valance (mesh design) on my non sline 2010 Q7. I have seen them sold online seperate however looking at my bumper, it seems that it's all one piece.

Can anyone chime in? Do i need to buy a whole rear bumper assembly to be able to accomplish that?

just buy one. Posers are usually laughed at.
just a friendly FYI

got this one for a sweet deal and low mileage. And besides, by swapping out the bumpers, its just eye candy for me. It would be another story if i was badging an A6 to S6, where the engine is the main difference there and the cream of the crop.

At this point it does seem like too much headache though. The wheels should do it for me. Will find out soon

As with anything Audi it probably a can of worms so unless yours is broken. There are many B5 A4's out there with S4 badges on them. The exhaust and the front bumper are dead giveaways!

You should be able to swap just the bottom portion of the bumper.. I think there is nothing wrong with swapping bumpers if your willing to pay for good OEM bumpers (no body kits) as long as your not going for the performance model look, like stated above^ it's very obnoxious to see an A5 badged as an S5 and etc.. I don't think it's that big of an issue to swap for SLine bumpers. Ultimately it's pretty much the same car, unless it's a 2011+ with 333hp. Go for it! It will really enhance the look of your Q7 if you choose too!

I have the TDI so same engine all around lol from 2009-2015. I will have to get down take a look at that bumper once again. On the OEM sline diffusers i see clips which implies they are removable but my bumper seemed like it was one piece
