RS4 Style (Honeycomb) Grill

Post by itaylor » Mon May 13, 2013 7:09 pm

Just wondering has anyone on here installed one of these (usually from China) on their B8 S4. I fancy getting one and there seems to be loads of them fitted over on AZ.

If anyone has: Where did you buy it from? What was the fitment/quality like? What did you do to re-fit the S4 badge?

Many thanks in anticipation

I shall be getting one for my S5. A lot of the knock off ones get average reviews. The OEM ones are obviously better, £700 though!

Did you buy it mate? If so was fitment/quality good?

So are you gonna go OEM..... pricey. But hey I just bought a TTRS FB steering wheel for mine for about the same. The missus weren't happy though :bash:

I want to go OEM just for the quality. A lot of the grills I can find are pre FL and hence won't fit.

If you find a reasonably priced FL please let me know.

no mate, I have a diesel sline A4, and was tempted to get the rs4 bumpers etc, they may well still be on ebay. but didn't know if they would fit .....and thought I would look stupid driving a slow car dressed up as a fast one! ..........now looking to get a S4 instead....

Perhaps we could see if any of the sponsors on here could get some for a group buy maybe?

Now you're talking mate. I'd be up for that.

But I do still wonder if anyone here has fitted one on theirs????

A few guys on A5OC have them fitted. More common is the pre FL cars. I'll have a chat with one of the sponsors and see of they can help. I'll report back.

Awesome... Many thanks you're a star. Hope they can accommodate pre FL and post for both of our sakes

I've asked.

I think for yours you may need a pre FL RS5 grill as the RS4 is FL only.

Apparently you have to modify the fixings to make any B8 A5, S5 or RS5 for a B8 A4/S4.

Here's the one that the folks on AZ are using
