Default Bug screen/deflector

I hardly drove the car last summer, but when I did, bugs in the grille became a problem. It's a fact of life when it comes to summer driving, but I find this grille particularly onerous to clean. It's like cleaning out 20 ice cube trays! Have looked but can't find anyone that sells some sort of ready made screen for A8's . Perhaps I'm showing my age and they're a thing of the past now.

LOL...I have not seen any bug screens to fit the A8 and I feel you. Even if you do not drive a lot, you are going to get these bugs and they are a pain to clean. I do remember the nets they use to sell at auto parts stores in the seventies where you stretched them along the front of the car and secured them to the front wheel wells. I guess I am also showing my age :-)

I did more looking and found this:

It was cheap, so I'll see how it works.

It will work against bugs but will it affect any of the sensors that are inside the grille?

Good question! I guess I will find out. if it fits well enough, I guess I could cut holes for the cameras.

Yes, cutting holes should do the trick...
