Default A6 Rear diffuser/valance swap

I'm starting to really dislike the look of the rear valance on my 2012 prestige. It's the really bland looking grey one.

Can I swap just the diffuser to an s-line or are there any aftermarket alternatives?

The picture in your avatar is not a Prestige car...are you asking if you can get the Prestige s-line mesh valance? I'm not sure if it will work with the non-Prestige bumper.
Im sure others can chime in..

I'm not sure how package names translate across countries. There were only two packages on offer when I got the car and I got the top one. Even today on the Audi.ca website there are only two trims and they are refereed to as progressiv and technik, go figure.

The only thing I don't have on my car is the s-line sport package. The picture I posted as an attachment is accurate in terms of what it looks like.

You will need to replace the whole bumper with the s-line bumper . The valence are unfortunately not simply a swap.

I spent a few hours looking around the net and couldn't find anything useful. Swapping the entire bumper just for the diffuser is overkill. I think I'm going to get it wrapped to atleast give it some texture.

Thanks for the confirmation.

The bumpers for S and non-S are not the same.
