Has anyone done this themselves I am looking at getting the black optic grill is it easy enough to do, is there a write up here did a search and whats the part number

I did it myself. I Googled RS4 bumper removal and found a guide. Takes a bit of time to get the bumper off but once it's off the grill part is a doddle to change.

PS I will dig the part number out tonight, I think I still have the box in the garage.

Hi mike, off hand do you remember how the grill surround is?

You didn't quite finish your question.
How much is it?
Do I remember how the grill surround is held?

I think it was just over £200 from the stealers for the grill and surround.
I can't remember how the surround is held. The grill I think had 4 screws securing it to the bumper. I could take a look at the old one but it is now buried under a load of other bits again. I can take a look tomorrow if that is the question you wanted answered.

That seems very cheap for a Black Optic RS4 Grill, which dealer did you get it from if you don't mind me asking?

Just been quoted £450 from the dealer for that part number

I got it from my brother in law at Doncaster. With his discount I think it came to about £180. Without the discount I thought it was about £220. It was a long time ago so I might be a bit out. defo not £450 though!!

Although that number is for an RS4 grille I don't think you need one. Can't you buy a black optic grill from an S4 or S-line and just change the surround?

I have the part number with price written on a piece of paper at work. I can double check the number against that tomorrow.

If you have the P/no for the surround, that could be a winner - gonna Shop around for a grille price - usual Aberdeen tax might have been applied by the dealer

I don't think they sell the surround on it's own, but an s-line grill is probably cheaper than an RS4 one, so if there is nothing wrong with your actual grill this might be a cheaper way to do it. I've never changed the surround but I think I remember reading that it's possible.
