So I’m trying to fix my 2010 A5 that was in front end collision. My question if the hood, front bumper, grill, headlights, and fenders from a 2010 A4 fit an A5. They look similar but I’m not sure if there are any other differences.

Not a chance!

Well I tend to agree with these 2 gents. The platform which Audi launched with the A5 in March 2007 was the B8, which was then used as a base to develop a family of models, including the new A4. BUT they are about 99% NOT going to be the same for about 100 different reasons. The A5 for instance was said to be designed to house the engine as near to the bulkhead as possible to try to offer excellent handling even in FWD format, to "resemble" a RWD car's feel. The A4 had totally other objectives like space for the kids and the luggage, for instance, so they are not gonna be the same front ends.

They are the same platform, that’s it, you might as well try to fit a Q5 front end.

Oh ok. I was just checking since I crashed and the whole front end of my 2010 a5 slime needs to be replaced. There was a 2010 a4 being partes out.
So what about the front end from a 2014 to a 2010 a5? I’ve been reading around and it looks like I need the bumper, hood, grill, and headlights to give my car a face lift. Would this be possible or do I need more major parts than the ones I mentioned?
