I contacted this guy in Peterborough on your behalf today, but apparently they only do these for B8s not B7s.
Thank you mate but it says the video is unavailable.

I have a spare s line grill that I’m going to cut out but may leave number plate bracket in the middle that way the mesh I have from eBay would cover the whole grill, it should look like this......... I hope

No worries appreciate you looking.Sorry about that, it was an advert on Facebook Market place not an video.
But no joy.
I saw that recommended elsewhere too, thank Rob - I have a tube sat in the shed to try also. Araldite didn't seem to do a great job, Araldite metal worked well as did an unbranded epoxy. I'll give the Tiger Seal a go.Tiger seal works very well.
Thats what i been doing the last few days and its not turned out terrible but its by far my usual standard but I'm stuck with it now lol, i wrapped the outside in some left over carbon and thats the bit I'm not happy with the most but I've really gone past point of caring at this point lol ill source a proper black optics grille when i can afford to and just swap the frames over.With my old b6 I bought some honeycomb mesh and bonded it into the surrounding trim.
Why not make your own using a donor bog standard grill to experiment on?

Giving her another clean tomorrow ill post some then but as I'm not happy I'm really not keen on grille or splitter at this time I'm not in a rush to show anyone lol but ill post a couple pics tomorrowpiccy's .
Thanks i think its because I'm comparing the wrap to a mixture of a paint finish and the carbon boot spoiler and it isn't anywhere near the same quality, yeah you have to keep the 4 rings onYou've done a good job there Ricky, the grill looks fine. Glad you put the 4 rings on, an Audi needs to wear those.
Yes the splitter is just wrong on a B7, fine for a Honda.
Is the the underside of your valance centre small gap squashed a bit too?
Yeah I got bored and just wacked it in really don't look bad but not up to my usual standard if I had the patience id make it look amazing but as you said requires a LOT of fine adjustments, post a pic up when your done with it mike just don't show mine up to much ay lolI can confirm that RS mesh into an SLine grill requires a LOT of dremel work.
Did you use the rs6 grille mike?That's the finished article, went for the number plate panel as I've got sensors and couldn't see a decent way of keeping functionality whilst doing full mesh.

Sorry mate I didn’t read all of the previous posts, yeah I don’t think it’s at all OEM (£120 off fleabay) but it’s advertised as RS6 replacement grill. The fitment is juuuuust off, luckily too tall rather than short. The width at the lower part fits almost perfectly, the top is too wide. I didn’t fancy the chances of 90degree epoxy connections staying in place for long, so used as much of the RS frame as I could, just shaved it with dremel for a good couple of hours to get it to fit.Did you use the rs6 grille mike?
Ah i see i wont be going through that faff again just curious to know how you did yours it looks greathttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A6-C6-4F-RS-STYLE-2004-2011-GLOSS-BLACK-HONEYCOMB-DEBADGED-MESH-SPORT-GRILL/254399044885?_trkparms=ispr=1&hash=item3b3b5d5d15:gpIAAOSw~uFdscoZ
I think this is the one I bought, ditch the frame outer and the face (the chrome bit on sline-but gloss on this product, just won’t fit) get yourself a backup sline grill (found one for £30) and away you go
Definitely loooooooads of faff mate, and a very clear moment of 'oh s@d it, that'll do'Ah i see i wont be going through that faff again just curious to know how you did yours it looks great
yeah defiantly had that feeling! I think yours looks better with bigger meshDefinitely loooooooads of faff mate, and a very clear moment of 'oh s@d it, that'll do'
Thanks man, tried for ages to find that type of mesh as a standalone...then just bit the bullet and got a donor part.yeah defiantly had that feeling! I think yours looks better with bigger mesh
