Default Caractere grille for my A4 - Hit or Skip?

OK people I don't know if I should hit this or not.

This pic is not of the grille on my car but a representation of a Caractere grille painted Dolphin to match the rest of the car. Keep in mind that I have a S4 front bumper with a blackout lower bumper grille as well.

I've had an affinity for this grille for a couple of years because I think it gives the front end of the B6 A4 a nice agressive look and now I may have a chance to pick one up for a decent price. What do you think - Hit or Skip?

I like your car the way it is. But then again, I'm getting old. I don't have any show mods.

skip -- blackout or color-code your grill trims.

S4 grille with grille trim painted to match.

This is my current "winter set up" with a blackout S4 grille.

If you have to change it I think the color match looks best with the contrasting silver rings.

Default If you get the Caractere grille,maybe have the same mesh pattern at the bottom

Old pic (with eyelids).....not sure if they make lower mesh grills to match the Caractere hood grill yet...but I found a powdercoated screendoor for sale at the local hardware which matches the grill pattern of the Caractere....

well the picture tells the rest on what I did with it....screen dorr was only $15
