Hi all,

Has anyone had any experience with buying non Audi body panels? In particular, the Radiator Grille (the part with the rings badge on and the chrome surround) for a 2011 A3 S-Line but I think they are all very similar across the 8P range apart from the S3.

Ive seen some on ebay and they are a lot cheaper than the genuine Audi part but I dont want to sacrifice quality and buy a dodgy copycat part.

For example -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A3-2008-2012-Grille-Complete-Silver-Grey-W-Chrome-Frame-/121712042424

£75.00 compared to the £200+ Audi price.

Cheers! :)

EDIT - It seems these radiator grilles are made by Prasco. I did some searching and it looks like the part number for this particular grille listed on ebay above is Prasco AD3222001.

Anyone got any info on Prasco?

Replaced my old Sline grill after being damaged by a pheasant. The new one you see is a Prasco grill. Good quality. No issues in over 1 yr. Straight swap.

Jps3290 - how big of a job is swapping them out? Really fancy this for mine. Really changes the look I think
 
Pretty straight forward but you do need to disconnect the fog lights and take your bumper off.
