V8 4.2L Body parts

showdown · 01-14-2007, 07:11 AM

Hello,
I need some help about body parts for a Phaeton

V8 from 2004.

-- Are all exterior body parts the same? (Front grill / Front bumper / Hood / Fenders / Xenon headlight /……).
Or are there differences which make that these parts can't be installed on other models?
For example: Fender from a V8 4.2L on a W12 or Hood and Headlight from a V10 TDI on a V8 4.2L.

Thank you.

As far as I know, exterior parts are interchangeable from the V6 to the V8 to the V10TDI to the W12. The only visual differences between the V8 and the W12 are the two extra chrome tip exhausts at the back for the W12. Apart from that everything else should be the same on the outside.

Phaeton (a moderator) may add in more knowledge that I may not know of, he'll be glad to assist you.

Do you intend to buy a Phaeton? If so, I'll be thrilled to meet a fellow Phaeton owner.

There are 4 different front grills that are all interchangable. On the rear, the lower valence has openings for 4 exhaust pipes on the W12 and just 2 on the V8, All other parts on the body look to be identical althought part numbers may vary.

Are you thinking about customization?

While I am a Mod here and shouldn't promote other sites, I think its beneficial to you that you know about the Phaeton forum ran by heaps of Phaeton experts Paldi (Fred) included

He already visited over there. Not much feedback on his request. Perhaps more differences exist between the ROW V10 and V6 Phaetons but in the States, the W12 and V8 are virtually identical. It's a shame the W12 wasn't set apart a bit more.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

In fact, here is the car. I need to repair it, and don’t thinking about customization (the Pheaton is already so beautiful in his original. Not need customization !!)

My question is to know….
-- If I find a second hand W12 fender, can I buy it to install on this V8.
-- Or a second hand V10 hood, can I buy it to install on this V8.
-- Or a second hand V6 headlight, can I buy it to install on this V8.
-- Or a second hand ………………………

Thank you for your help.
