New tail for 08

hi there
my new 08 s3 arrived this week at my dealer. even though the new original tail is much improved on looks it still has to go.

problem is: the tail conversions for the 07 (for example: chris from anmoparts/germany is working on it; but it will take another 2-3 months from now on) do not work with the 08 (new subframe, new taillight etc.).

does anyone already have a solution (besides sawing this thing off...)?

any input much appriciated.

happy crashes,
torino

My adivce is do it yourself - like anything it's always better homemade

Get a Dremel-like high speed rotary took, sheet metal, paint, screws, etc... and have at it.

Good Luck - Jones

Happy crashes,
