I'm sure forum member theMil could probably do a good job on your request. See his PS work here.I don't suppose any of you talented people out there can do me a photoshop picture of what a Phantom Black A5 might look with the black grille....??
Any pictures of an A5 with the front grill blacked out?

Sorry for missing this thread.. but here I am
It could be something like these pics here:
^TX's pics are always my first choice
Hope it's close to real effect of the black grille
Yep, that's my car in the second photo posted by theMil. While I can appreciate the blacked out look, it's not something I'm interested in doing on my car. I think that effect is better suited for cars that have a paint color other than black.
theMil, nice PS work you did! I knew you'd come through!
Thanks for helping out.Here are my pics, sorry for the crappy cell pics.
Also I have only as of yet tinted the inner lamps ran out of time to get to the outers.

I wish there was an aftermarket grill you could get....no filler, no plate holder, just black grill (with or without chrome bars like the S5).
Something like this R8 Grill....

Here is another,
I would also like just an empty grille like that R8 . I have heard others say the Black A5 grille looks cheaper, I guess cause I like the blacked out look I like it better then the S5's To point I would be tempted to switch out if had an S5.

Here's a white A5 in Germany with a blacked out S5 grille installed, gloss black roof, and gloss black S5 rear diffuser. (You can tell it's an A5 by the seat headrests.)

Ray, yes you are mistaken regarding US spec cars.
Both the non S-line A5 and A5 S-line get the IDENTICAL gloss black grille in the US. I've seen plenty of them to know this is 100% the case (at least for MY2008). My own non S-line A5 has the gloss black grille just like the S-line.
You are also incorrect about the front filler plate. When you spec the front filler plate with your A5 order in the US, it comes from the factory in gloss black on both the A5 and A5 S-line. Only the S5 filler plate is gray.
Dude, you really gotta lay off that crack pipe.
Yes and I need to stop foruming so much when I'm supposed to be working =) I was just trying to compare pictures online, there actually aren't enough A5/S5 around town to look at, and I'm still 4 months out, lol.
To my credit, MadAudi is a bit misleading then:
"S5 color is platinum grey with two horizontal chrome strips. A5 color is graphite grey with chrome strips."

(A5 panel shown front - S5 panel shown rear)
They barely look any different from each other, and neither of them look gloss black.
