This is on a preface mate so the B8 before the one you have i think the new ones come with the honeycomb mesh moulded in mine never

They do have plastic covers behind but i replaces it with some mesh and i think it looks really smart not massively noticeable but its the small things

 

[razza1]

Very true

I think your handiwork has sealed the deal with my thoughts about buying an RS4 front grille as these will match it nicely. Where did you get the mesh stuff from?

Thanks mate and just of ebay just searched honeycomb mesh and found it it came from polland has a few different sizes i went for the 30mm x 10 mm and the sheet was 100cm x 40cm powder coated gloss black

 

[benjie]

They do, but the fog surrounds are a different shape I think as the bumper is different shape

 

[antowens]

Ye the b8 RS is a different shape dont know about the B7

 

[hades-]

b7 rs4 is also different from the s-line b7.

 

[antowens]

b7 rs4 is also different from the s-line b7.

We live and learn ay learn something new every day i believe is the saying

 

[razza1]

Was easy to do in the b7, should be just as easy on the b8 I hope...

 

[antowens]

Was easy to do in the b7, should be just as easy on the b8 I hope...

The only thing i found hard was because the surround has a few bends and arches to it so trying to get it right takes some time

 

[hades-]

didn't you use a hairdryer or heat gun for the curves ?

 

[hades-]

yeah the B8 is just as easy as the B7

 

[antowens]

didn't you use a hairdryer or heat gun for the curves ?

I used Aluminium mesh mate not plastic

 

[razza1]

yeah the B8 is just as easy as the B7

That is normally because access is required, used to be for towing point, forgotten if B8 has that there. I've done that a few times with previous cars, though I sprayed the wire mess.

Anything that keeps stones, filter tips and beech leaves out can't be bad! (oh and receipts)

The towing eye cover is on the bumper not behind there the only thing behind it i can see is a few pips hahaha
