Should look fine, i'm sure the match will be pretty close, how much are they charging you?

Default Does anybody have the part number or price for that piece?

don't mean to thread-jack but I'm kind of interested in possibly picking one up.

To answer your question above, I think it only fits the S-line front bumpers and it should be a glossy black.

Default i'll give it to you tomorrow, when i go to the dealership

are you sure it will only fit the s-line? i didn't even know to s-line was a different grill.
they are letting me exchange the old one i bought from them a few months ago that i paid about $100 for, and only charging me $20 for shipping since there are none in the states, and must be shipped from germany.

Default You sure it's going to fit onto your stock grille? S-lines have diff grille dimensions . . .

i wouldn't be surprised if the 25th did as well.

Default Won't fit an s-line

I really, really want that grill, but it wont fit an S-line A4

The special edition S4 grill is the same size as a NON-s line A4 grill. (It's a smaller grill than the rest of the S4's)

The A4 s line has a larger grill than the anniversary edition S4, but the same size as a regular S4 (weird, eh?).

Now, if a gloss black grill comes up that will fit an S line A4 or regular S4, I'm all over it!

I'm pretty sure it will NOT fit an S line A4.
The S4 that comes with that black grill is the 25th anniversary car, which has a SMALLER grill than the rest of the S4's and is the same size as the regular A4.

This may seem backasswards, but the air holes in the bottom of the dam n the 25 anniv car are larger, so they went with a smaller grill to allow for this.
That black grill will only bolt onto a 25th anniv s4 or a A4 NON-sline
