Grille
#5
Ah. I'm thinking about changing the look. Has anyone modified their grille to the B5 RS4 grille mesh? I like this style.

Nope, not RS4 Honeycomb, but I did this, because I was bored while waiting for the oil cooler repair to test out as fixed and I got tired of the dull black plastic.
Alcohol was also involved. It is secured using a series of tiny counter-sunk, flat head, hex drive, machine screws backed with nyloc nuts. The material is stainless mesh, and the hood release rod above the emblem is from a bathroom sink pop-up lever

The hood release never was inside the emblem when stock, it was that black pop out tongue. But Yes, I suppose I could put it inside the emblem, but felt it would interfere with the look of the four rings too much
A better view head on:
If i were to do it over, I'd try and locate something that looks like this hex sheet alloy:

But you might want larger holes and heavier gauge. Better still, order up this sample pack for $10 and see what floats your boat:

[QUOTE = Valhrdtop6; 25436412] hoi, er is een verschil in de grills, behalve de kleur, ik heb een 2000 facelift s8 en ik heb geprobeerd mijn grill te vervangen door een eerdere a8 d2 maar hij paste niet, de contouren rond de koplampen , motorkap en spatborden zijn iets anders [/ quote]
