Default Audi A6 - S6 bodykit(Question)

Hello all,
recently I have decided to replace front grill&mirrors&side grill of ACC with S6 model, all of these chrome.
But..... My question is, there are two types of front grill, beige color and black one, there pics and difference





My Audi is black, should I go with black grill or beige?
I am thinking of black one...
Thank you for your opinion.

Also, I found this thing going for cheap, but it has these small dots or whatever they are
please check them and tell me can it be possible to clean it?

It's hard to say if the spotted grill will clean up without knowing what made the stains. You could take a chance and paint it if you can't clean it off.

How much would it be to paint it?
I mean the seller told me its genuine, not any chinese replica, so a new grill would cost around 700 euros here in Europe, while replica around 250.
and this one is for sale for only 200€, reason is because of these stains.
I can't go check it, only way to pay and receive by DHL or smth, not sure.
Also I have came to an end with the grill colors, saw many S6 Audis having beige grill, which has changed my mind getting that color, whatever, I guess the Audi is gonna look great after these minor(not so minor) changes

Ask the seller what the stains are. Then you would know if you can clean them or you need to paint them.

200 EUR ($215 USD) is not exactly cheap for a damaged OEM grill. The seller knows what it is and the stain may be the reason that it is for sale. Check out eBay for other OEM grills to see what an average used OEM grill price is.

Painting that would be cheap and easy, might as well go all black.

It might be indeed, I can't really paint it all black as I want it to be chrome, so thats the deal...

FYI Beige is a different color. They took away your art classes, so you don't know.
