Wanted: Audi S3 8V 3 door boot spoiler (OE)

[Johnny_E]

Looking for an OE S3 boot lid spoiler for a facelift 2017 8V 3 door A3. Any out there taking up dust in a corner?

I actually do but.................... it won't fit unless you change the black triangles in the corners which I have removed one of so far as it arrived broken

However, this is a theory and as far as I am aware (at the time of checking), no one had put a RS3 spoiler onto a hatch

Or hold on, are you looking a lip for the OE spoiler or the whole thing?

 

[Johnny_E]

Looking for the whole thing... I was hoping to bolt off, bolt on... With a respray no doubt.

Heres one on eBay....

That's not RS3, just a A3/S3 one - RS3 has indents:



And that has a Maxton lip on it - the one i have at home is black

They are also a complete BASSSSSSTARD to take off - anyone I have spoken too has ended up cutting them out - I have gone as far as taking off the boot trim and all the bolts holding the spoiler on but its the plastic poppers that are near impossible to loosen

Right... Lightbulb moment.

There's no such thing as a 3dr RS3 I think I'm right to say?

In that case, we're needing an S3 3dr spoiler I'm pretty sure, like that eBay one above. They've listed it as RS3 but that's not right I don't think.

Looks like a tricky job right enough.... But hopefully new poppers can be got if any are snapped.

Yeah no 3 door RS3 ever produced from 8P - 8V - 8Y

The spoiler you need doesn't have to be from a S3, can be from a S-Line as well (can be pre facelift or facelift 8V so from 2014-20 odd when they stopped)

Will give me some drive to get mine changed, might do a @ace275 garage paint special on the spoiler in the mean time as its currently black

Mine was a fantastic job. Until the winter arrived then it blistered

Primer must have had a bit of moisture in it despite me having heaters against it

Thanks... All the eBay ones are pre facelift 3 dr spoilers so I'd wondered if they'd be identical to post facelift. Hopefully the same tabs etc....

Hi there.
I have door with spoiler attached, it's from a 2017, 67 plate S3.
Mint condition. It's been in storage for the last 4 years.
Can send photos if interested.
Cheers
