Default RS4 Grill Update...GOT 'EM! :-)))

First, kudos to deleonl1 for putting me in touch with a supplier in Germany!

Pictures of the RS4 grill were posted by Ulrick two days ago. If you haven't seen them, go take a look.

Okay, the price is $65 less a 20% discount for an order over 10. This should be easy given the interest here. Actual cost will be more since we have to cover the cost of shipping them to the US, and for the volunteers to pack and ship these individually. Estimate $20/grill for now, that may change? What I need is to get some volunteers first to put up their credit cards for payment, and volunteer their time to distribute these grills upon receipt. I live in Pennsylvania, so I'll try to handle the northeast. I'll need one volunteer for each of the following: southeast, another for the midwest (and central plains states), northwest, and the west coast. Volunteers should have a large enough credit available on a standard credit card to be able to put up the money for this. There will be considerable interest, and if any one area has too many interested people, or not enough, I will find another volunteer, or roll that area into a neighboring area.

Those people interested in purchasing the grills will have to pay IN ADVANCE...it's only fair. I will keep you posted. Right now lets just start with regional volunteers.

Also, Andreas is also offering RS4 badges for front and rear. They are a little pricey, and I don't want to turn into a parts supplier here, so I've declined on those. Let's keep this simple for the volunteers. I've ordered 1 grill from Andreas. I want to test fit this on my car and post a picture before we start accepting any money or start placing the orders. It may take a couple weeks to square this away, but I want to be sure I've got the right part before charging $3,000 on my credit card for all of you!

Cheers all! (and sorry for the long post)

Default I forgot...for those who want to volunteer...

please e-mail me privately with your name, and shipping address. I will give preference to people who I've seen on this board, since we will be dealing with large sums of money here.

I will e-mail you back with a list of states that you will be handling.

If there is a large enough response north of the border, I will set up a Canadian distr./volunteer too.

Default I'm going to order one first and post a picture on my car (Silver),

before ordering the mass quatities. You're right though...it may look better on darker colors. We'll see.

Default Wish I could join in on the fun!!!

Hey Raj, I'm glad you were able to get in touch with Andreas...he's a pretty good guy and his prices aren't bad either. I only wish I had an A4 so I could join in on the fun....I'll have to make do with my '91 Coupe quattro. Take it easy!
