Default I have the fillers

Am I correct in thinking your grill is all smooth with no rectangles under the rings?
My car has the fillers under the rings. My service rep said he thought it might be a different grill and I questioned that they would have two different grills for such a low volume car. They swear the plate holder and the mudflaps are on order. We'll see...

It is easy but expensive. The two "filler plates" come out of these holes:



and an expensive bracket (at least if you buy from the dealer) goes in its place:

Default Allroad tracking

hey symawd, hoping you can assist tracking my allroad a San Diego dealer was able to get for me from another CA dealer. She is saying the car won't arrive within 30 days of the Nov 3 ship date from emden. I hear you have an inside track: vin is WA18NAF40JA082886. Thanks in advance! The ship is supposedly going to Benicia. Not sure which one or how it will get to San Diego from there.

To the OP - while I understand and appreciate your wanting the front plate to support your charity, I would hope you would reconsider that decision. You are not in a mandatory 2 plate state and IMHO the front plate really ruins the smooth lines of the grill. The tow hook holder is even worse - I bought one a year or so ago for my Macan and sent it right back after a little more consideration. You have your back plate that supports your charity so maybe consider a window or bumper sticker instead?
Regarding the mud flaps, they are readily available from Audi and I bought mine soon after I got my 2017 AR.
