Does a Full Frame Grille exist? (no filler plate)

[ekaufman]

Has anyone seen or biult a full frame grille with no filler plate? Im sure we have all seen concept cars with them, like the one below, but if anyone has any info on a version for the B7, let me know.

Hopefully not

Hopefully not

dude, i'd love to see one too. i posted a while back just after the above picture set came out and nothin. any manufacturers/distributors/vendors know of anything in the pipeline?

[ekaufman]

Hopefully not

Im guessing your reffering to the image I posted that you dont like. I agree, the vertical chrome isnt doing it for me. However, a full frame grill with the RS4 mesh and rings would be pretty dope.

I saw a custom version biult for an A8 a while back, but I cant find it again.

[NauTiC*]

I agree. An Rs4 version would look sick!

How about a quick photoshop?

I thought you were looking for something that looked like the above pic, I was just a little taken back

[ekaufman]

I know some of you guys are Photoshop nuts, so can anyone throw something together?

s'all good. i'm also not so sure about those chrome strips. even if i decided i wanted the chrome, i'd rather just go out and get some chrome tape then be forced into it.

but...mmm....rs4 mesh....

a grille with no filler plate would be dope!

i feel like these are such simple basic ideas for what would look good.. i dont get why n manufacturers make anything like this..

i need to buy a plant in china and i will manufacture...

1) non-sline rs4 grille. the good one that looks exactly like the oem rs4 grille (not the crappy knockoffs)
2) an rs4 style grille with no filler plate for people who dont need a license plate up front. whats the point of the filler plate anyways?? it serves no purpose

[ekaufman]

What would you guys pay for grille like that? Knowing that it would have to be custom made? $600-$800?

[Dangler]

its gonna be tough to do, due to the fact that directly behind the filler plate is the crash rebar.

there is not grill that im aware of that is out there, that doesn't have a filler plate.

[SEXICÄN]

Hopefully not

LOL

[RedS-line]

the style would be nice, but since the front plate goes on the filler, it would cost more to make entirely different grilles for those that dont need a front plate when all that needed to be switched is the filler plate. if u paint the filler plate then i think it looks pretty good as is.

heres my 2 min pchop.. pretty rough but you get the idea.. hope this helps

^ doesnt look good imho... filler plate creates a much needed visual break.

me likie

[ekaufman]

I like it as well. It gives it more deistinctive shape, where the break in teh grille is unecessary. I think it woudl look even better with the chrome trim around the edge to define the shape more.

I think you would have to go with a tighter mesh though, since as someone mentioned above, the silver rebar is right behind the filler plate and may be rather visible through the wide RS4 mesh.

Either way, it looks pretty smooth.

Agreed

Agree, need the filler plate, doesn't work with the body style

[Grk_A4]

yeah at first I thought it would look good. But after seeing that PS I don't like it at all.

[jejeclown]

i dont think it looks half bad

[Bllzll]

with the filler plate, the rings look perfectly centered...

but without it.. the rings just kind of look like they are floating there.


i kinda of like the look.. but like others have said, i think the visual break that the filler plate gives it necessary

This is what I am seeking sans the rings. Is it available now?

But to answer your question, yes it does. As long as you don't have an S-line bumper.

If you have an s-line bumper, I believe custom is your only route.

Crazy that 10 years ago the consensus was that full-mesh grilles suck. Nowadays almost everyone on here seems to have one (myself included). How the times have changed!

[vce1232000]

Wish I can 1. NJ needs a front plate or the cops around here will ticket the out of you
