S4 sport wing and s5 tails on Vert ?

i was looking at purchasing another s4 and this time a Vert

I was just wondering if i can still use my old Sport wing on it and how would it look if anyone has photos.

and the S5 coupe tail lights on it is it more work than putting them on a s4 coupe ?

The sport spoiler will bolt onto the vert trunk and looks remarkably good considering you can still use the trunk with the sport spoiler attached.

As for adding the S5 COUPE tails, you will have to use the coupe center section, which means you will lose the trunk's key lock, so yeah, its more effort to use the s5 coupe tails on a vert than to put them onto a coupe.

They do have a trunk release, same location as the hatch release and fuel door release as the coupes. But its a trade-off, you can lose the trunk lock in favor of coupe tails and then have to always pop the trunk release lever every time you want into the trunk.

That said, the sport spoiler will add enough weight to almost effectively nullify the trunk release when you pull the lever, that is if the trunk shocks are shot (which most are, just like the coupes).

Though the coupe tails look ok, its also of note, that ALL euro spec tails are essentially 'vert' tails to accomadate the wide lisence plate over in most european countries.

There is some trimming involved get the lights in, if it's a daily I suggest you keep the keyhole.
