If your Audi A1 has suffered a knock or scrape, replacing the rear bumper might be necessary to maintain its sleek look and safety. Whether you drive a first-generation (8x) Audi A1 or the newer second-generation (GB) model, this guide will help you understand your options.

Which Audi A1 Models Does This Cover?

  • 2010–2018 Audi A1 (8X series)

  • 2019–2022 Audi A1 Sportback (GB series)

Each generation has slight variations in bumper design, so choosing a bumper specific to your year and model is crucial.

Why Replace Your Rear Bumper?

  • Accident damage

  • Scratches or cracks

  • Paint damage

  • Improving resale value

A damaged bumper can also impact your vehicle's ability to absorb impact safely.

Audi A1 Rear Bumper Options

When replacing your Audi A1’s rear bumper, you typically have two options:

  • OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) bumpers: Identical to the part fitted at the factory.

  • Aftermarket bumpers: More affordable but must be chosen carefully to ensure proper fit.

At Premium Components, we stock high-quality replacement rear bumpers for a wide range of Audi A1 models.

How to Fit a Rear Bumper (DIY or Professional?)

Audi provides detailed body repair manuals for their models. For fitting guidance, refer to the Audi A1 Body Repair Manual via Audi's official erWin website (registration and small fee may apply).

In general, bumper fitting involves:

  • Removing wheel arch liners

  • Detaching clips and bolts hidden under trim

  • Disconnecting parking sensors (if fitted)

  • Carefully aligning and fitting the new bumper

If you are unsure, we recommend professional fitting to ensure a perfect alignment.

Costs to Expect

  • Aftermarket bumper: £150–£300

  • OEM bumper: £300–£500

  • Labour: £100–£250 depending on location
