    I hate how it looks without a front plate, because the holes show, but I'd rather not have a plate at all. Can the flat horizontal thing in the middle of the grill be removed to make it look more like an RS7 ?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions and opinions.

    You can buy a different front plate filler without the license plate holes.



    Not sure what options you have . . .

    Same thing in mine! I ordered the front plate delete and installed it now it's perfect. I believe I purchased from euro parts.

    And after. ( also side marker deletes being installed in this pic it's s must!)

    Thank you all so much! it's kinda steep for $500, maybe I should just pay the difference and get the RS7 front grille.

    THANK YOU ALL !!

    Europrice - they are a sponsor here I believe.

    This is where I got mine way cheaper than 500

    I put a RS grill on my S6 because I hated that black plastic trim place inbthe middle of the grill.

    I've never understood the whole de-badging and "black out" badging trend. (I guess it's like skinny jeans)

    I purposefully put the S6 back on the grill. I like it. If I wanted a car without badges I could go get any old piece of junk and debadge it.'

    I like badges too but when they're crooked and in the wrong spot that's another strory. Imo that grill looks better without the badge. It's yours though so enjoy.

    Please tell me you don't wear skinny jeans

    This is part of why I took off my mesh grille and didn't replace it. The badge was held on with a wingnut style backing but it occasionally would slip or move, and it was hard to keep 100% level. That and the plastic was very glossy and kind of contrasted with the rest of the car and the front end, didn't really match.

    The link for the S7 plate filler strips above - is there a BLACK one for S6? I was planning to just wrap the grey bars with some vinyl but if there are parts from Audi that will fill it, painted from the factory, that would be better.
