Black Grills...etc

[mickclark]

Just picking up a 08 plate S5 in White and want to change the grills and diffuser to gloss black as soon as possible, is there anywhere thats used regularly by the forum for stuff like this?

Thanks

Could go for a wrap Mick - I know a great guy down in Warwick that is an expert in this sort of thing - at least then you could go back to stock for re-sale later. Would love a pic of that btw!

Have you tried the Audi parts department? You never know the parts may be cheaper than you may think. I'm sure a RS4 grill is only about £190 which isn't too bad considering. I know that won't fit just an example of price.

Can you post / PM me the details of the guy in Warwick please Tim?

Call Jonny at http://www.stickym.com/

He did my wife's carbon fibre roof wrap on her brand new MX-5 - a great job, and they are lovely blokes - they wrap buses also (if you have a bus!)

Mike - drop the car off - they'll run/taxi you into Warwick, go look at the castle for a few hours then pick it up. That's what we did - a great day out.

Got to admit I've had plenty of things wrapped in the past and deal with Vinyl on weekly basis so dont think it would stay on for very long, it would only be covering a tiny amount of surface before a huge gap and to put on correctly would take a huge amount of time with no guarantee of it remaining on. The diffuser could work and possibly the fog light inserts but it would then be matching the colour exactly to the Grills.

I'll take a look at Audi parts to see how much the Gloss Black stuff is...fingers crossed my eyes arent going to start bleeding.....

Audi quoted me £841 for an RS 5 grill!

Have you thought about Plastidip? I know a lot of people use it now although I have no experience of it.

I got a quote from a paintshop last week to spray my grill and it came out at £260.

Cheers Nicky, I'll look into it.

How easy is it to remove the grills, diffuser and fog light inserts so I get them all the same colour?

Thanks in advance
