German tuner Hofele has a few added touches for your Audi A3 cabriolet.

For the face of the always adorable A3 convertible, the single-frame front bumper provides for a GTS-look, featuring large air intakes on each end. The GT-bumper also includes a fog-light kit which can be ordered separately.

Hofele also has its own S3-like, sporty front grill in both black and silver for those who want something more than just a change in bumper.

At the back, a new rear apron is offered which can be simply glued to the existing one of the A3 non-top. This "Diffusor" is made out of PKG material and is offered for both a quad sport exhaust system or for the serial one from the standard production model.

Caps for the headlamps washer are also to be had and the Hofele badge to be placed next to the A3 moniker on the rear hatch offers another subtle touch.

My inner 19 year old girl is screaming "Buy that car!"

Good thing I got plenty of duct tape.

Autzone was closed the day the first few pictures were shot. Nextmorning when it opened Hoefel bought the fake side intake ducts for $4.99 and stuck them on.

Looks okay, so what is so special about it. You take a regular A3 chop the roof, add some stupid looking bumpers and an odd looking side air intake and WCF finds it interesting enough to post it on it's website. I am not sold on it. Hofele let us know when you secure deposit for your first order outside your family and employees that is. That would be big day for you bad day for the individual placig the order.

What's the point of making a car look like German vommit?

Looks like Hofele cannot afford wheels with proper offset to show with the car. Don't think anyone can design worse body kits than Hofele.

As I get older, I care less for cosmetic tuning. If it is kept subtly OEM then nice, but it seems too much of a challenge for most tuners.
