    B8.5 Black Optics Grille?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm looking for an OEM B8.5 black optics grille and found this below. Is this the "all-black" black optics grille or something else? Has anybody purchased this part number before? This pricing seems cheaper than via aftermarket vendors, but is also a different part number than what aftermarket vendors offer.

    Part Number: 8K0-853-651-P-VMZ

    I wonder why the gray one is more expensive than the black one...

    Someone in Charlotte, NC just posted theirs for sale in the SE Regional Forum.

    Looks like it's from a MY 2015:

    According to the Mfg part number, this is the black grill with chrome trim which I think is standard on the newer S4's. The same part with description is sold on ECS. Black optics package is black grill with black (glossy) trim.

    Been trying to find a OEM matte black grill forever but the price on ECS is absurd. Even then it doesn't say if the trim is matte or gloss. :(

    yeah i guess that is an option but i heard the paint will eventually start to chip off not to mention my tagging skills leave much to be desired.

    From what I understood
    VMZ the frame gloss black and matte black horizontal strips
    CKA the frame gloss black and gloss black horizontal strips
