I am trying to source a black gloss front grill, but all i seem to be able to find are ones that fit a standard a4 to make it look like an rs4 ??? but i cant find one that fits the rs4 as apparently they are different sizes.

Can anyone recommend a supplier please

Audi.
Or try calling these guys. I thought they sold RS4 ones too:

Hi Mike, thats the exact one i wanted, but if you read the description correctly, it says a4 b7 to rs4 ???? they tell me it wont fit for some reason ? i cant see why not

Yes I noticed the description but thought they had the wh9le range on show at AITP and had all sorts of different types. Have you spoken to them?

A quick look and I saw a $699 price tag. Add shipping and import duty / VAT and isn't that more than from Audi? In fact isn't it more than Audi with the extra charges?

yes today, they just say they dont have ones to fit the original rs4 ? confusing lol

Some one on this site must have purchased one and can advise ? dont really want to buy from Audi for obvious price issues lol

If you can't find a grill at a decent price you can always get yours wrapped. I had my grill and window surrounds wrapped in matt black for 175 quid.
Proper job, unfortunately I don't have any pics with me I can share.

Are you just after the outer rim to be gloss black or the full grill including the center mesh? If it's the mesh then obviously a wrap wont work. I have been looking into this and spoke to a reputable painter over the weekend and he told me he wouldn't touch repainting of the mesh...

It's really surprising that no one seems to sell these as there's a lot of interest on this site.

i agree, i just thought these were common after market parts we can just buy anywhere lol someone is missing a trick here

How much is an Audi one? I didn't think they were that expensive (in RS terms) which probably explains the lack of aftermarket versions.

I had mine done at 2K customs in Inverness, maybe not too handy for you. Anyway I wasn't sure how it would look but was really impressed with the finish. Also had the trim below the boot lid done. I'm sure any decent outfit good at wrapping would make a similar job. I'm away from home just now and I dont have pics but I'm sure if you search the forum there's plenty of examples. I went for matt black, others prefer carbon or gloss black. The beauty of wrapping is that you can always revert back to original if you change your mind.

may well look into it Nessie, cheers for that
