No, Audi only sell the grille as a complete unit. You could of course wrap or spray yours to get it back to a matt black (or any other colour).

PS your old da vinci wheels are still on this forum on Lady Penelope's red convertivble.
Thanks Mike
That's a bugger, I considered wrapping but the carbon has rippled slightly and I'm sure it will show through and would bug me lol

ah my old wheels

I knew you couldn't resist a B7, welcome back. Don't be shy, start a build thread as I know you can't stop building cars.
:thumbs:
Thanks Mark

It was all a bit surreal I was just looking at private plates on ebay and this car come up and I'm like hmmm that's a good price, next thing
boom I own it lol.

Mrc stage 2 with decats and milltek, slight crunch into 4th but than can and will be sorted.
Now its just what wheels I fit first lol.

And I seriously need to sell at least a couple of cars, the widebody is going which was a keeper but I got a very good offer out of the blue and also the blue tt.
I will start this b7, continue with the imola tt and now I can finally get cracking building the imola b5 rs4 ive wanted for so long.

A bit more of a tame look, I actually ran 3 different sets of rs5 rotors on it, for me the best looking oem wheel

Your old Da Vinci wheels have had a little work on them (we all need a little work on our look now and again..) and are safely tucked up in their storage bags and foam wrapping for the winter...

Great wheels and they always get commented upon.

Pretty sure you had a healthy involvement with my car as well during 'Janet's' ownership? It really shows the care it's had over the years...

I've not even told everyone yet, it was the hardest car decision I've ever made, I still love it and its the best car
in my eyes i've ever built and even liked it more than my old b7

I actually think I will really regret this, I just hope once I get going on the imola b5 build it will help.

I still have it, I'm just waiting for coilovers I need to fit for the new owner :cry: :cry:

I will add though although the b7 isn't very quick, now having one again I have really missed the ease of driving and
that awesome sound for sure

Saw the comment about the red carbon, sounds like this car:

Bit too much red for my liking, but can't argue with the quality of the work :notworthy:
