STEALTH LOOK Model Designation Delete Front Grille

Post by dream_machine » Fri Apr 10, 2015 6:32 pm

Hi everyone, proud new owner of a Panther Black RS6 here! It was not a factory order so I could not get my prefered model designation deletion, but I am looking to get a more stealthy look. I want to do the following:

- Model Designation Delete Front Grille

I have tried looking up more clean grilles on eBay but nothing for a C7. Is this a huge pain in the arse? Should I just get it wrapped?

- Black Gloss Audi Rings Front Grille

I know I can get the rings on eBay, but I am concerned about damaging the grille, perhaps a recommendation for someone in the London area who has experience in this?

- Model Designation Delete in the back

This is easy enough to do but worried that it might damage resale value. Perhaps I can just glue it back on if I want to re-sell?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Congrats on the new purchase!
The model delete on the front is easy, it just unclips with a bit of persuasion.
It'll end up like this

It's also easy to put back should you need to.

The audi rings I bought from eBay & had fitted at valetmagic in camberley.

The rear badge is also a case of heat and dental floss !

Be careful not to scratch the rear, although if you do VM can sort that as well!

I also wanted the stealth look but ended up getting a bit carried away!

There you go... I realise it will not be everyone's idea of cool, but I love it. They are such great cars. Apols to OP for hijacking but it's kinda applicable!

Well that's me fully erect. If you need me, I'll be in the basement, ripping the head off it.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Thanks for the knowledge! Your car looks great, very menacing!

Glad to hear the front model badge is easy to deal with, I have tried it just now but dont like forcing the plastic too much! Hopefully will grow a pair of balls by tomorrow morning and get it sorted.

Take the panel off the top and get to the back of the grill. Then you can use fingers to release the clips at back.
