Used Audi 80 Rear Bumper

The Audi 80 ran across two main generations relevant to most UK buyers: the B3 (1986–1991) and the B4 (1991–1996), and rear bumpers are not interchangeable between these two generations as the bodywork and mounting points differ completely. Within each generation, body style is the critical factor — saloon, estate (Avant), and cabriolet bumpers are all different from one another even on the same platform. Always confirm the generation and body style with the breaker before buying.

No — the B3 (1986–1991) and B4 (1991–1996) are distinct generations with different rear-end pressing and bumper mounting arrangements, so a B3 bumper will not fit a B4 and vice versa. This is a firm generational boundary, so make sure the donor car's generation matches yours exactly. Confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration to be certain.

Yes, it matters a great deal — saloon and Avant estate rear bumpers are shaped differently to follow each body style's distinct tail-end and are not interchangeable, even within the same B3 or B4 generation. Always tell the breaker which body style you have, and check the donor vehicle matches yours before agreeing a price.

Trim level — whether your car is a standard, SE, Sport, or similar — does not affect which rear bumper fits, as fitment is determined by generation and body style alone. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as colour, surface finish, or the presence of bumper mouldings between trim grades, so it is worth checking the donor car's spec to get the closest visual match. The breaker can advise on any cosmetic variation when you enquire.

1991 sits right on the changeover between the B3 and B4 generations, so it is the most important year to get right — a bumper from a 1990 B3 will not fit if your car is an early B4, and vice versa. You will need to confirm which generation your specific car actually is, which your registration or VIN can clarify. Tell the breaker your exact registration so they can match the correct platform before supplying the part.

No — the Coupe and Cabriolet share the broader B3/B4 platform but have their own unique body pressings, meaning their rear bumpers are specific to those body styles and will not fit a saloon or Avant. Body style is always the first question when sourcing a rear bumper, and only a bumper from the same body style will line up correctly. Confirm the exact body style of the donor vehicle with the breaker before purchasing.
