I have searched and can't seem to find a decent comparison image of the two (or two images). Is anyone able to post a pic showing both bumpers so its easy to get a decent comparison?

Just type "S-line" as your keyword and choose 'Search Titles Only' when using Advanced Search.

Here's a thread to check out:

Don't worry about what they look like. If your choosing, You want the s-line bumper. period. It looks 9238578934 times better than the stock A5 bumper

Whealey, I'm betting I know why you're asking the question - especially after seeing your car on Saturday.

What has he done... Has he Hurt It ???

I'll let Whealey answer that - if he wants to.

Suffice to say that he's asking the S-Line bumper question for a good reason and that he wouldn't let me take close up photo's of his car's front end.

Just a little scrape - taking it in on the 14th for a new bumper and a bit of touch up - should be good as new!

Ouch......

Are you getting the S-Line then ???

 

[whealey]

nah, just going for the standard replacement. as its the front bumper, the sline wouldn't make it look a great deal different. the only reason id pick sline is if it was the back

 

[dbs2]

Was there much difference in the price or did you not bother looking ??

 

[robb]

I really like the sline front end now, looks a lot more aggressive now that i have got used to the standard one, so tempting lol

 

[whealey]

Didn't even bother looking to be honest, the thought didnt cross my mind. If I had thought about it then I would have compared prices but I guess I just forgot. Doesn't matter too much anyway, going to have it back to normal which is what i care about

Id love to see your car with the s line front bumper. Its basically the s5 bumper minus the alumium insert in the middle. With your 20" rims it would make it look even more aggressive. Just a thought.

Although you mention you like the s line rear bumper, can you not just removed the plastic at the bottom and intall the rear diffuser? I have seen the sline bumper converted to the s5 by the same process.

No, the standard bumper cover on the A5 differs slightly from the bumper cover on the S-line and S5. (BTW, the rear bumper cover on the S-line and S5 are the same.) In order to fit either the S-line rear diffuser or the S5 diffuser to a non S-line A5, you have to replace the entire bumper cover.

sounds expensive. I do love that diffuser though. The biggest difference to me on the s line was the front bumper and side rocker panels that make the car look more agresive. Almost like the S5. Almost.

going to make some calls today and see if I still have time to swap it for the sline front bumper
