Vehicle compatibility

Key features

• New replacement front panel for repair or replacement use
• Cross-reference number 022310 listed
• Vehicle-specific design for the Audi A3
• Restores correct mounting points for front-end components

A bent or cracked front panel can upset radiator positioning, headlight alignment and bonnet latching, so replacing it is an important step in returning a damaged vehicle to its original shape and function.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Replacing the front panel requires removal of the bumper, headlights, cooling modules and bonnet latch, and the air conditioning system may need to be evacuated and recharged. We recommend installation by a qualified panel or mechanical workshop. Check headlight aim and bonnet alignment once reassembled.

Fitment checks before ordering

Front panels for the A3 differ between generations, engines and cooling packages. Compare the OE number on your existing part and check the photos carefully before ordering. Our team can confirm fitment if you send us your VIN.
