Black Grille

Post by G30001 » Fri Dec 06, 2019 12:07 am

Hi all

Front bumper has to come off whilst being repaired after some thieving scumbags had my RS4 away and the car currently has the silver grille and styling pack which I want to change to gloss black but I cannot find anywhere that sells actual B8.5 RS4 grilles just RS4 style for A4 and S4


Anyone know where I can get one other than Audi as they are £900?

Thanks

I remember reading you had it stolen... but it was recovered? Not sure if that was good luck or bad luck, what happened?

It was 7 weeks later still waiting for it back.

Had minimal exterior damage just a muddy interior (which worries me a bit) so not a write off at the moment.

With Audi getting new keys as we speak but they having trouble coding it and insurance is dicking about authorising a diagnostic scan to find the problem.

Current whip is a 1.0 corsa....100% the worst car I have ever driven. Even my mums old 98 1.0 corsa was better.

Sounds <beep>, did they steal the keys to take the car?
I guess the dealer would always expect you to provide at least 1 key to program out the others? I never got given the plastic one so asked them to get me another and program the ‘missing’ one out as the car said ‘3 keys registered’.

Bet you are getting more mpg from the corsa than yours!

I guess it’s positive to get it back?

Update they fried the ECU trying to kill the check engine warning (HPFP was booked to be replaced) light.

So now waiting for insurance approval for a new ECU then see what the lead time is.
