HI all, Sorry if this post has been answered before. I'm quite new to this forum so i thought i would post my first post. I wanted a black edition s3 but i couldn't get myself to pay the extra premium for it. I bought my s3 from an older couple at a good price so i couldn't resist it! However I want to make it look like the black edition as much as possible. Has anyone had any experience with getting the chrome window trim and front grill wrapped gloss black ? I have had a few quotes and they are ridiculous. Just wondering if it better to just find a black grill online and leave it at that?
Cost me £250 for the chrome on my S5. That's windows, under grill bumper and spoiler Sent from my HD1913 using Tapatalk
Vinyl One near Brighton, although a few others nearer where I live in Cambridge quoted similar price. Sent from my HD1913 using Tapatalk
I have a genuine 2017 facelift black edition grille that I can part with if you're interested? You will need the S3 badge off your current grille. Drop me a PM if interested
Hi mate, I can't PM people on this forum yet as I am too new and have not posted enough, could you pm so that I could reply to you?
Did the black edition swap on mine last year. £160 to wrap the window surrounds , bought a genuine grille and side grilles from TPS and painted the rear valance parts in BE colours. Carbon mirrors and black rings. Job done. Chris.
Why didn't you just get the OEM ones powder coated? That's what I did and was very cheap Sent from my HD1913 using Tapatalk
As I would like to keep the originals so I am able to put the car back to standard come selling time. But I do appreciate a powdercoated satin finish would be nicer. For £15, they are worth the punt and can be returned if no good.
eBay.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-75m...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 They are definitely more 'shadow chrome' than black, Ill check out fitment of them this week sometime. I may even paint these with a brake calliper satin if fitment is ok rather than bastardising the originals.
Thought I had pics of the bags they came in but can't be sure as they sent me non S3 ones initially (blanked off) but a quick search on ebay : 8V3807682QESM 8V3807681AE ESM Double check those though. Chris.
How did you remove and fit them? Have a PFL and need a new passenger one as mine is damaged. Have you still got your old one? Sent from my HD1913 using Tapatalk
There's a screw in the top corner iirc and then be brave and give them a good pull out. I had the bumper off at the time so could push from behind too. They're a "good fit" ! Chris.
