options for my split grill?

Guys and Girls

What options (and opinons) have i got for changing my split grill (03-05 preface lift) i dont want to change it for the facelift as i like the split grill.

but I found this on ebay.... FK Audi A3 03-05 8P Black Front Upper Debadged Grill | eBay

Is this any good in quality? will it look naff?

Or im thinking of just spraying the chrome surrounds as i hate chrome bits. does anywhere sell new surrounds in black to match the existing?

thanks

Why don't you just get the chrome bits sprayed? And then order a black audi badge? .... that's what i would do. I'm not a fan of non-oem parts, bad experiences with them in the past.

Debadged grill is a no for me, plastidip the chrome on your existing grill IMO. Like this ...

 

[devonaudi]

Wicked, that looks so much better.

Next questions

Can i just pop out the Chrome surrounds? will the clips break off?

plastidip ive heard of but never seen, is it easy to use like spray cans?

thanks

You can get the grill wrapped in 3m and get the audi badges matte black off ebay, like mine

Agree with Tim

 

[devonaudi]

I managed to get the upper chrome surround off for plastidipping,

any tips on getting the bottom one off?

thanks

What's that front spoiler/splitter you have Fran? quite like that

Standard cupra front splitter, not expensive at all. Just needs a the lugs trimming and screws to attach it.
