just picking up on another thread, can you but the front grille rings on a 8P3 with having to buy the grille? if yep can you buy them in black?
 
Yes you can buy them, chrome form audi! If your liking black then aftermarket mate like the ones I have on the rear
 
If anyone is looking for black rings for the front il gladly swap for a set of chrome ones!
 
Ebay £12.38 + £2.47 p&p from the States. Item 160532482501. I ordered the rear rings and they arrived in 3 working days.
 
Got to say that my front ones broke too many clips taking it off. I didn't want to paint over the chrome also in case it got chipped by a rogue stone.

On the negative side my new front rings are a fraction smaller than the originals, you'd never know to look at it though but i know....
 
richy_c is your A3 a 8P3 ? any pics of the grill and rings?
 
I fitted a black set on mine yesterday then ended up putting chrome back on. Didnt suite the car Think it would suite a black or darker car better.

I bought the ones from US. Just tried fitting them & in the process broke two clips on the chrome one. Went to fit the black one and it wouldn't fit! Kept popping out and was smaller! So tried taking it off and it broke!! Am gonna take my chrome one to a bodyshop and get it sprayed Matt black properly I think. Then hope it still fits with two broken clips :(
