    Help with this decision

    Hi All

    Been wanting to do this for ages, do I or don't I get an RS4 black optics grille , here's my dilemma, love the look but I have a dolphin grey(pic below), the grille is wrapped and is colour coded (OEM) and imho looks spot on, what do you think yes or know to the change (Audi in the park is coming lol).


    Question: Does the RS4 grille come with a filler plate (some say yes and no), Audi parts guy wasn't sure!!!

    Cheers

    The RS4 grille does *not* come with a filler plate. I wrapped my filler in carbon wrap otherwise the colour match looks odd closeup.

    Thanks Lee, so you say order the black filler plate. Wondering if it's possible to fit number plate without filler plate.

    Has anyone got a link for all of the above bits as I'm looking at doing the same to mine soon hopefully but I'm just after the chrome rs4 grille, also how do you do the fog surrounds? You you take them apart and glue the mesh to the back of them? Sorry for all the questions I'm a newbie when it comes to Audi lol

    That's great thanks, does the bumper need to come off to fit the grille or can you do it while still on the car?
