    my lower grill is about 26" across at its widest point

    I don't think so IIRC the hood is of a different shape in the grille area.

    I want to say the pre-facelift 4.2 grill and the facelift grill for all a6's are the same. My pre-facelift 4.2 has the four bolts on the bottom of the upper grill, where as the 2.7's I've seen are the press in type. Just my observations.

    yes, there was a thread showing a DIY for putting an rs6 grill into a 2.7t. i dont think it was on AZ, maybe audiworld. There was definitely at least a link to it in an AZ thread.
