Like the title says, have been searching all over internet and have only found rings for b5 &b6 cars. Went to the dealership and they kept telling me I have to buy a new grille with it. So anyone that has ordered front rings for their car where have you bought them?
Thanks in advance

You cannot buy the rings themselves, at least not OEM. The only way you can get OEM rings is if you buy a whole grille. It's really stupid, I know. I lost my front rings ina really bad snowstorm once. Eventually, you will probably have to buy some used ones off of someone who is willing to let them go from a grille conversion they have done. That's what I did.

Yeah, I've had a few requests for this...Audi doesn't sell them separately for whatever reason.

Someone could make some decent money if they just made a mold and cranked some if these out. Just fyi, I only paid about 20 bucks or so if I recall correctly, but some tabs were missing...

You could always try a junkyard. I remember reading about one on here that was in upstate NY that had a really good website site listing all the cars w/ lots of pictures. Plenty of B7s there

the rings have p/n ! It is 8D0 853 605. Try this on the stealership.
I put a B7 emblem (rings) on a B8 grill, so you can purchase the B8 emblem. $58 List.

Any more updates on places to find these? My local audi junkyards don't have any and I tried ordering that part number from the stealership and they got it in motion only to call me and say that that part number was not sold separately...
