Default RS7 Grill on A7 Pics?

Hey all,

Can anyone who has a RS7 Grille on a A7 or S7 show me some images? Iv seen a couple but i want to see all i can. I am thinking about getting it but docent the RS7 grill expose that large long metal bar inside the grille??

I have the black optic grille now on mine but the plate delete is the wrong ne & i can not for the life of me find the 100% correct black optic plate delete with the matching matte black with gloss black lines plate delete to match it. So i am thinking of getting this grille to defeat it all.

Here is what mine looks like, no 'bar' issues.

Is your plate delete all gloss black now? If so, lay some matt black vinyl between the ribs.

It's German made and very high quality. My installer was impressed with it and so am I Only caveat, it was a 2.5 hour install, but worth it.

Unless SMART Motoring changed suppliers since I inquired earlier this year, they advised that their A7 grille products are ABS plastic and made in China

My dealer actually has an OEM version of this one in stock. It's alot of chrome but would be interesting to see on one of the grey colors.

I was only going by what my installer said. Both the new grille and the OEM grille are plastic.
