Do you have the front proximity sensors on your car? If so, does they grill cause them to constantly alarm? At least 3 others that I've talked to that have this grille says the fitment is just a tiny bit off enough to trigger the front parking sensors.

I really like the RS3 grill, but I think having the front sensors go off all the time would drive me nuts.

I love this grill. However, I too am concerned about the front proximity sensors. Can someone who has them, with this grill, confirm not having any problems. Thanks.

Stock s3 grill 100% looks better.

Something looks odd about the s3 or a3 with rs3 grill

Yet the rs3 with rs3 grill works perfectly fine for me.

The grill does look pretty slick. But I think it would only work on a contrasting color. Like the blue in the picture, or red or white. Would not work on my black car. Too much black then. I like the chrome bits on my car to accent the windows, grill, etc. Good luck with your decision!

I do have the front proximity senors on my car and they do go off from time to time but it isn't a consistent thing

Hmm... that makes you 4/4 people i've asked that have that problem. Not always a problem tho.. i'll have to sleep on it. Thanks for letting us know. I wonder if you can dremel out the parts covering the sensors....

I'm reverting back to the OEM Grill since my sensors give me problems. I have the same Grill which is in picture.

Well now you make the 5th person, so far 100% of the time there are issues with the front sensors. Too bad.. really like the look. I'll probably pass on the grill then.
