my brother blacked the grille surround on his A3 T sport with black insulating tape. Sounds wrong but worked for years and looked factory. Give it a try for a £1 and 5mins. If you like it you could always buy a black surround later.

Yes they do - I bought a spare when my front one got chipped - (and before I put the black one on). Less than a tenner from memory.DPM said:...Audi don't sell the front rings by them selves...
i've got a black A3 with the rings on the back in black, as well as a black grill/surrounds and the audi badge on the front is also, yes you guessed it, black.jcs356 said:Oh no, everyone's copying me. Makes a change for me to be ahead of the game!
Anyone had a go at painting the rings on the bootlid black?
