Q for those who bought ebay RS grilles with success

[LaCross]

Cheers,

Im looking to ask those who have bought ebay RS grilles and have been pleased with the product the received. Could you link me to the product/seller please? There are a ton of them and im not sure which to buy. Car is a 2011 S4




"D00000D just buy one from a vendor for $240!!!"
- No. The vendors buy them from these off-shore manufacturers too.



Thanks in advance!

I purchased mine from an eBay seller called smart motoring. Paid 180 shipped. Fits like oem.

I went the EuroCollective route and I am really happy with it. Pics of it in my build thread.

I purchased mine thru eBay from revmotoring's store. It was $200 but I used a $20 off automotive coupon I got in an email. Fits perfectly. No issues at all.

Very happy with my ECS

Edit: it's not ebay, I know

I purchased mine from FSTDirect on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/13-15-AUDI-A4-B8-5-RS4-STYLE-GLOSS-BLACK

I have an A4 which is why I purchased the kit that also comes with the fog light grilles, but all 3 grilles had perfect fitment. I just took a look at the sellers other posts, and he is also selling the grilles without the removable badge if that's what you're looking for.

FSTDirect's rs4 grille looks almost identical to the one Euro collective is selling. I wonder if they were made by the same manufacturer.

It wouldn't surprise me.

All these grills are China made. So just go with the ebay ones

There are two versions of the reproduction RS grill. One grill has the rings integrated on the main mesh. The other grill has the rings as a separate piece that you have to mount yourself to the mesh. The first grill is the one you want as its built nicer and looks more oem. I bought mine off of Ebay.

On sale through USP- $191.99 I have the B8.5 version on mine.

Thanks guys, appreciate the info!


edit: Does the revmotoring http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audi-A4-S4-B...FU5kD5&vxp=mtr grille include the license plate bracket?

[SchreibCity]

Go on ebay, search louiellp. You'll see some grilles for the B8 come up. If you don't see the colors / styling that you want, send him a message and he'll get you what you need. Quality was excellent. Shipping was fast from China.

Definitely make sure you buy the one with the rings built into the grille. Looks way better and much easier to deal with than the other ones. Should be pretty easy to tell the difference, but you can also identify the ones with the rings incorporated by the smaller honeycomb inside the rings.

Just recieved my grill from FSTDirect and couldn't be happy with it, definitely approved. http://www.ebay.com/itm/400620156933

I'm still trying to find a B8.5 RS style front grille with integrally molded ring holder that doesn't stick an inch off the front of the mesh. There are plenty of them just like it for the B8, none for the B8.5.

Love mine $146. It's the better one with ring holder built in.

The front parking sensor brackets aren't built into this grille, correct?

[sc117]

That I would not know, I actually have an eBay one sitting in my garage lol, I was considering returning that and grabbing the nicer USP one... If you find out let me know

Get one with the built in ring holder.

Here's the latest one I purchased for my 2013:
B8.5 RS4 Style Grill



I previously had one that came with a separate ring holder and the cheap plastic braces that secure it to the grill broke.



Good news is you can't buy a ring holder by itself for the grill.

They are attached, but removable. I have the USP grille for the B8.5, it came w rings already attached also.

[waxxonMTL]

^^ than it means its not built-in per say. its just like the ecs grill.

[jl87]

Parking sensors come installed on the USP grille, can remove if wanted. Ring holder is 1 piece integrated into the grille, non-removable. So similar and different than ECS's.

I think he is referring to the parking sensors, not rings badge

Yep, you got it. That's what they were asking about, so I clarified in my follow up post just so nobody has any confusion on it.

[GRUMPY-S4]

Does anyone have pics of the USP version with the License plate holder on it?

Is the black the same level of "shine" as the black optics package?

Do they sell it with black rings? Or has anyone had their rings painted?

[blingaling]

I bought mine on amazon for 160. Looks awesome, and good build quality. Strong plastic too with a nice gloss black paint finish

Parking sensors on the front? I have a MY2012 and don't remember that as an option, is it available on B8.5 and newer cars?

[GRUMPY-S4]

My 8.5 doesnt have front parking sensors that I know of

[waxxonMTL]

i'M not aware of that on my b.8.5 either.

speaking of grill, mine was damaged yesterday. someone backed into my grill while doing a parallel park.. didn't even last 6 month lol... those grill looks great but I wonder why no one ever made a premium grill made of a sturdier plastic or heck.. aluminium !

hate to bump an old thread but how in the hell do those rings attach to the honeycomb grill, the scrws they sent dont even reach the emblem holder.
