Does anyone make a Honeycomb Grill for sline bumpers.

[Ramzi]

Why is it so hard to find a honeycomb grill without the license plate filler for a B7 s-line/s4 bumper. I dont want to spend 600 bucks buying an RS4 grill, so what are my best options?


This is the exact look im going for but for the B7
Thanks,

Anyone get a price on what this mod costs? Since you're out two grills (RS6 and A4)?

you can save yourself some bucks by buying an aftermarket rs6 grille. That's what mine is. As for the the b7 grille, as long as you don't ruin it when you cut it up, how are you out two grills?

I would be hacking up two grills. The RS6 for the mesh and the A4 for the frame. I wont be hacking up my OEM one, so I'll have to buy 2, and probably sell the one currently on my car. But the initial cost is still two. Idk, it's how I did the math in my head.

Ball park, mind telling what you ended up spending on this mod? Did you follow the guide on Nick's blog or find another?

I see what you're saying. For me, I bought the rs6 grille used here on az for around 100 bucks. I had also bartered with another az member (A4Effort) and acquired his oem titanium grill in exchange for taking photos of his car lol. So I still have my S4 grill somewhere in my backyard at least. The only other money I spent was on epoxy, some super glue to "tack weld" the honeycomb to the b7 surround and some filler because I cut too much. So maybe around $130, give or take.

And yes, I used the guide on the blog. If I had to do it over again, I would definitely try to make some kind of template of the b7 grille before I cut and trim the rs6 honeycomb. I ended up trimming a little too much off of the honeycomb in the bottom corners when I was trying to fit it in. Since it's not flat, and has a decent amount of curvature, it can definitely be tricky trying to get it just right. from up close you can definitely see where I had a hard time with it. I was thinking of something like chicken wire, since it's so flexible but can sort of hold a shape, or even cardboard. It would have been REALLY helpful.

If you zoom in on this picture, you can just make out some of the filler on the bottom. I'm also pretty impatient and have no skill with that sort of thing so it looks a little rough lol. Someone like Noel who works with plastic and fiberglass can do much better than I did. I should have spend some time to clean that up but I was fed up lol

This is the best shot I have to show the curvature of the grill, and why a template would do you well.

Thanks for the tips. It sounds like you and I are similar when it comes to DIYs - I'm sure mine will have its fair share of imperfections as well.

I thought this would be an appropriate thread to bump with my question... Can I use an RS6 ''style'' grill for the C6 A6 or do I have to get the actual RS6 grille? I've seen that some of the Rs6 style grilles say ''Doesn't fit S6/RS6''?

Probably a similar thing to our A4/S-Line/S4 situation. The grill won't fit, but the A6 grill might be big enough to get enough mesh to fit the A4 grill. Best thing to do would be to ask the C6 forum for a measurement of their stock grill and make sure it would be enough to cover your entire grill frame

Rs6 style is just code for an aftermarket grille and should be fine

I'll double check in the other sub-forum

Old bump, Any new news on aftermarket mesh grills that are direct bolt on for s4 and s-lines?

[Flygman]

I don't understand why this is so difficult for manufacturers... There are hundreds for non-sline and not a single one for s-line.

[All_Black_A4]

Agreed. It's not like there's a huge difference between the 2 bumpers. The number of B7 S4 and A4 S-lines driving around cant be that much smaller than non S-lines.
No doubt some AZer has the production numbers of both lying around

[B7TitaniumA4]

I picked up an aftermarket RS6 full mesh grille on eBay for $100, then kept my eyes open for an S-line grille that was less than perfect, finally found one for $85 shipped. Frame fully intact chrome surround was broken. I’ll either swap my Ti surround over or look for a good surround and wrap or dip it. Unfortunately I’m moving into an apartment for at least a year so this project will be shelved until I get another garage. But at least I have my materials 😀😀😀😀
