Just one screw on left to wedge in place




How much I trimmed off an A6 grill



Painted to match euro plate holder.
That looks like it's supposed to. Nice work. I have been negotiating with suppliers in Germany and China. Cheapest I got so far was 94 bucks ugh. Might have to do what you did.😀

Pretty easy to just cut and paste. Can't beat A6 grills for only $15-20 a pair from a Chinese supplier. Could probably create an A8/S8 mold from that and tack on some tabs to snap in

I used DENSO #4504 PLATINUM. $25 for a set of 8. Runs great. http://densoautoparts.com/spark-plugs-platinum-tt.aspx

Also went with some other wheels. Zenetti 19"
