    2007 A4 (non) s-line front grill paint color

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a 2007 A4 where the front (non s-line) grill is a charcoal grey metallic color. Only the front license plate holder has chipped, and the black molded plastic (under the paint) is now visible. I've had no luck searching and searching for the specific color of this paint (almost looks black from a distance, but it is definitely a dark grey metallic). My questions are, does anyone know what type of paint or color of the paint to repaint the front plate holder, or where to purchase a non s-line dark charcoal grey front plate holder?

    Thanks!

    They definitely have them on ECS, but honestly you'd have a great chance to paint your grille black now!

    One of my first mods I did to both my B7's was to paint the grille gloss black looks a lot better imo.

    What's different about these headlights? It's dark around the projectors. Is that silver piece that goes over the projector painted?

    They are retrofitted halogens. So yes the shroud has a black part right around the projector.

    Got it, I was thinking they might be a retrofit. I kinda like it.
