DIY: C7 A6 Front Bumper Removal & StoneCarbon2009 RS6 Style Grille Install (Video)

There's screw holes on the back of the Audi rings holder that the night vision module can screw into, same as the OEM grille

It was a little misaligned for me but it still worked even though I didn't cut it out. Cutting it out fully seems like the cleanest option but I don't trust myself enough to do a perfect job!

So I did the mod last weekend and have a few photos from the process along with an "after" or two. We're still in the depths of winter here so the car is dirty but the grill is clean I used vinyl wrap to cover the aluminum bumper cross bar and it's in the photos. I think it looks better than paint and it should be more durable, too, having double-layered it when installing. Thanks again to KwikStix for the video because I could not have done this without it. Enjoy!
I just finished mine last night. Advice for anyone getting the stoneCarbon grill and night vision. Have a good dremel. I had to do a fair amount of trimming for the night vision camera, parking camera and overall fit. I have and S6 so I think it's a little different. No big deal just took my time and cut where I needed. The results look awesome. I would not have done this if my $85k S6 original grill did not start to bubble for no apparent reason. Disappointed in audi.

Unless it’s just an opinion in which case it’s like an ***hole and everyone has one. Thanks for sharing yours... in an annoyingly self-righteous way. :/

To make it look better it needs an S line bumper, the plate moved to the right location and lowered suspension, because right now it looks like it’s on stilts with those small 18” wheels.

You’re quite right it is my opinion, how this car has been modified with the side mounted number plate and the fake RS6 grill it looks worse than when it left the factory.

No. Don't like it? Move on and enjoy the rest of your day.

Where I come from people aren't snobby *******s who demean people just because they don't like the choice they made when it has no effect on their own lives.
