Yes this deal is now a constant on ebay. Search for seller "louiellp". See my post on page 5 for what that grille looks like. I'm very happy with it and that seller offers it with chrome surround which was not an option with the group buy.
EDIT: Here you go.

B8 RS4 grille instalation
I know there have been a bunch of posts about installing the RS4 grille. However, I did my install without removing the bumper. It was actually really simple.
1. Remove from shroud that covers radiator
2. Remove air intake scoop
3. Remove 4 screws from each side of grille
4. Push grille clips apart from bumper at bottom (4 of them)
5. Wiggle and pull grill up and out. This takes some finesse and pulling out of the bumper so be careful! This is where the trim removal tools come in handy.
I found the following link which is in German but you kind of get the idea from the pics. I have a poorly google-translated version that I need will not upload for some reason but I can email it if you want it.

I used a trim removal tool set like this one..

This is the grille I ordered. They have great customer service and fast shipping. I had mine in less than a week! While this is not OEM, the quality is good and the fitment is perfect. Everything lines up as it should. The only thing different is there is no mount for the homelink and thermometer. I just stuck them to the underside of the air intake with double-stick tape.

I painted the bumper with plasti-dip which has a great flat look and is more forgiving then paint should any overspray occur.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
