Whats the grill off??i have been told the bumper has to be taken off to fit the grille. I am awaiting delivery of my 1.8T and have a nice new gloss black grille to go on it
and the S5 mirrors
Hi,Can anyone advise
how easy is it to change the front grill - do you need to take the front bumper off to do this
Hey there SD,To remove the grill, you have to drop off the bumper cover and temp and parking sensors. Then it is held on with a dozen screws. The S5 maual gives step by step instruction how to do this.
I was thinking of putting a Euro plate on my S5 (I currently have the filler panel) and was surprised when I removed the filler panel to find the space for the Euro plate underneath. However, for some reason, there are 4 slots milled in to the sides of the front plastic! So that means me having to purchase a new grill without the slots. The grill is $400 ish.
If I do this, then I will have a basically new S5 grill and filler panel that I won't need. I figured I would put it on ebay - however if you are interested I could do a good deal for you
Let me know. I also have to check if I can get the new grill without the slots otherwise I may not bother.
Yeah, let me know when/if you're selling it, I may be interested. Thanks.If I do this, then I will have a basically new S5 grill and filler panel that I won't need. I figured I would put it on ebay - however if you are interested I could do a good deal for you

Sure, here you go and sorry for delay...Alejandro - do you have any close up pictures of the S5 grille with the "5" removed?
Alejandro - thanks for posting the close up.Perhaps putting the 'Quattro' emblem from the A5 grille would look better than taking out the '5' from the S5 grille?
Or, take the 'S' off and move it to the centre of the black patch in the photo?
What do you guys think?
Speaking of ABT, apparently they have a new grille: http://www.a5oc.com/forums/showthread.php/new-grill-abt-2966/index.htmlThere is one thing that fits this place PERFECTLY. It is ABT emblem and it looks hot there, but since I don't have a single thing from ABT I figured I shouldn't put it there.
Yeah, I had posted my thought over there.....some time ago I was actually considering the whole ABT bodykit without wheels, so all the bumpers, exhaust, side skirts, grill...everything. Price I was offered was 6600 EUR.Speaking of ABT, apparently they have a new grille: http://www.a5oc.com/forums/showthread.php/new-grill-abt-2966/index.html
Man, why do you think, I was posting above?Anyone know if the S5 grill will fit the A5? i have been told the S5 grill is wider in the bottom and hence wont fit without changing the bumper as well? would this be a true statement and if applicable to the s-line as well?
thanks
