So I picked up my S4 avant just over a week ago and the previous owner, or the one before him, had fitted a replacement grille and moved the no. plate to the right hand side, now stuck on as a vinyl. The grille is a definite upgrade and I really like the improvement, except I'd prefer the no. plate to still be in the middle.

Since owning the car I've spent ages going all over the net and searching on here for a reasonable solution to this. The twist in clips/brackets that were available on ebay are sadly no longer available and other grilles seem to come with the number plate as part of the kit/package, not available to buy separately.

As a result can anyone help in recommending a plate holder or whatever, and the means with which to fit it to the front? Hopefully something which doesn't end up in a bodge with zip ties holding it on. I'm not a numpty with a spanner but can't find any quick & simple answers.

Also I want to put an S4 badge back on the grille as well, do they just clip on or are they bolted to a bracket holding it in place?

Appreciate the help! Cheers

You could possibly go and ask in the for sale section on Audizine. The RS4 grilles come with a plate holder but many US states don’t require a front plate so someone on there may have 1 laying about.

Maybe something like that first both the number plate and the S4 badge.

Did you buy private or trade? If private, it's a long shot but maybe drop them a message and see if they still have it lying around? Personally I prefer the look of the plate holder on the honeycomb grill to the floating plate brackets you can get but they're an option too.
 
Thanks for the help everyone. I messaged the ebay person about those but had no reply as yet. The twist n fix ones are a lot of dough (£30) for a couple of 3d printed bits of plastic!
 
I still have my old holder plate holder from the grill above if you want that?

Thanks for the kind offer. I have ordered one off ebay which I'm not sure will fit but will try that first. Gives me something to do over the weekend.
