I didn't need to remove the grille in the end. Careful prising with plastic tools did the job. I also removed the model and engine badges and changed the rear rings for black.
They are a bit of a job as they are slightly larger than the original rings so the tailgate needs to be fully cleaned off before fitting the new rings so I marked the original placement with masking tape and fitted to that template.
Very happy with the result.
Just the brakes to paint black and logo up now.
Able to what?
do you have a link to the rings you bought, i've been toying with this for ages but always get confused on fleabay
debating removing model/engine designation too - was going to lose the s-line badges completely
Nice! Glad you managed it without the grill removal.
Sounds like you have done the same as me. I went gloss black rings/badges and removed all badges at back apart from quattro. Looks loads better.
I would be interested in some pics once you have done your brakes.
oh well i'm sure the OE will go back on okay with 2 clips missing, nothing a bit of glue won't fix
i don't even wanna know how much a badge from Audi is lol
