Not yet.... but thanks for the extra worry

Kidding aside, that's not terribly surprising considering the angles of how most cars would match up to our vehicles.
I'm not even gonna look up the price of a grille tonight - don't need the hear palpitations.

The first day I had my D3 some a**hole backed into it.

You must leave NYC immediately and bring me all the GOOD pizza !
Will keep spare grille on hand in exchange

I have noticed my 2011 A8's rear deck lid does not fully open when unlatched. It gets to about 1/3 up and then I have to help it. It does close as advertised
Believe this needs to be adjusted (when I take it in to my stealer for the final check out prior to the bumper to bumper warranty expiring--probably November or so of this year)

BTW--I hate having to revert to manual operation of my trunk lid now that I have my "new" car.

The stories I could tell . . . Now I know why my father used to park his 450SL at the far end of the parking lot and it wasn't because he enjoyed walking.

Reminds me of the time I was delivering a 928S and parked at the far end of the rest area. Some idiot pulled next to me and opened his door into the side of the car. Thank god (in this case Porsche) that the car had color matching moulding.
