I'm wondering if any of you have pics of a mesh front grill with black trim and chrome trim on a deep blue see S4 ?
I'm having a hard time choosing ;)
Thank you !

I have a Deep sea blue pearl S5 and was in this same jam. If you plan to keep the aluminum window trim and not wrap it black it would match up better. But i didn't want to go the "ebay" route to get mine. USP has a high quality aftermarket RS5 grille but the trim is gloss black along with the rest of the grille. I also went this route because it came with the plastic cover so i didn't have to plasti dip the bumper bar. Not to mention it comes with the rings ALREADY on it, no messing around transfering yours over which can be a pain.[wrench]
I will dig and post some S4/S5's that are "deep blue" with a all black. I plan to at some point get my window trim wrapped.

Here is a members S5 in deep sea blue color with a all black RS5, I'll try and dig up some more. And he still has the aluminum window trim not wrapped. Looks good i think.
Hopefully some members have a S4 in Deep sea or at least Estoril to give you a idea. DSB is a COOL color, pictures never do it justice! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160504/8b0d368175d4b5f5500b09192f145001.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160504/dcd98ece8834ead6216e4201183ff472.jpg

Few more examples I could dig up quickly. Most are S5's but you get the idea. DSB Pearl is not a common color in the S model I don't think.

Found some s4 pictures! Hopefully this gets you a idea, I was in the same jam. I personally went all black and i thought the S4/S5 badge will give it some color contrast & pop. Sure from the side the trim from the windows and grille might flow better. But keep in mind it probably wont be the same material. The grille trim is usually a flat aluminum on the rep RS4 i believe and the window trim is more shiny. Someone correct me if i am wrong. [wrench]

I figured, i didn't think Deep Sea Blue Pearl came on the B8 S4, could be wrong. Although in low lighting they look similar.

Here found these via Google. Estoril with a few combos. That should give you a pretty good idea.

silver trim. matches the mirrors, window trim, and many wheels. Based on the posted pictures i'd definitely go that route.

Id say the same IF you were not planning to wrap the window trim with vinyl like some do to get the black optic package look. OR if you can find a quality replica with the silver trim, i know some complained about the rings sticking out etc.
I know the USP comes with rings already on the girlle so no removing with potential of breaking them. And its a pretty good quality black gloss, its deff one of the best quality RS4/RS5 grilles on the market now rep wise. Not bad for $240 i think for the B8 S4, plus again comes with the rings on it.

I'm Estoril with all my silver wheels and accents intact. I'm glad I didn't get the silver trim grill, I don't think it would have looked as good. The silver rings are good enough IMO.

Don't forget it you go black trim on the grill, you need to consider wrapping/dipping/painting the silver piece of trim in the fog light Bay as well.
