Thats Fekin expensive for the lower grille. Ipaid £67.00 INC VAT for mine on my RS6 From a main dealer! (actually it cost nothing as I played up merry feck and got it under warranty, but they tried and lost)- ok its chrome, but I cant believe its double for a black one
It's all Bollox.

:shock: Well that's definitely put it back on the agenda as it gives it the look that I was originally thinking about but just couldn't visualise :D

After your original advice about leaving it as is, I'm very grateful that you came back with this and supplied such a great close-up photo with all the detail. As already said above, looks awesome and really mean :twisted:

What's the story with the car though :?: Whose is it and how was the dechroming and lower honeycombed grille done :?: Sorry if this sounds like I've gone full circle on the subject, but I just wanted to be clear if this was done differently from the method previously described :?:

I also notice that the wing mirrors are black and finish it off very nicely. Do you know if they are dechromed too or replacement covers :?:
