Afternoon all!

After a slight mishap in my Audi, I snapped the silver grill surround on my B7 RS4. The black grill "mesh" itself is completely fine, so can anyone please tell me where I can get a new OEM surround?

I phoned Audi who told me I required to buy a whole new grill, but they didn't seem to understand that my grill surround had the standard silver finish, only being able to quote for a matt black and gloss black finish.

Does anyone have a part number I can quote to Audi, or let me where I can buy the part I require. please?
Any information would be great appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Darren

I can look it up for you if you need Darren but I'm pretty sure that the grilles come complete - all the black optics ones we've done have come in that way.

Yes please Dr G, if you could I would be most grateful!
If at all possible, would you be able to supply me with a part number and price, please?

Even though the part comes as a complete grill, do you know any place I can get a surround?

Many thanks,

Darren

They do come complete but quite a lot of people upgrade to black optics grilles - might be able to source a secondhand one?

I changed mine for the black optics version and still have the silver one in a box at home somewhere - has done a couple of thousand miles from new - let me know if you want it

As above it is all one part - I seem to remember it being a bit of a pig to change though? Bumper off/ drain the washer fluid etc etc?

If the grill is in immaculate "as new" condition, I'm definately interested, please! smile

PH won't seem to let me message you, so please could you PM me with some information and possibly a photo or two?

Many thanks,

Darren
