Default Is the OEM rs3 grill a perfect fit on the S3?

I got into a small accident. I have a 2018 S3. The body shop will let me use a rs3 grill instead of S3 grill if I pay for the difference in price. I see this as an opportunity to upgrade at a minimum cost. But the parts need to be the same dimension and fit, or I’m stuck with a grill that won’t fit. There are no aftermarket Rs3 style grill for the 2018 S3 yet. So I have to go OEM.

I called 3 dealerships but none of them know for sure.

Does anyone know if the OEM RS3 grill is interchangeable with S3 OEM grill?

What about the bumpers? May be I’ll change that too

Thank you!

I have learned that they're not the same fit, rs3 has wider fenders so the grill dimensions are different too.

I can't possibly imagine the hold up on a rs style grille for the s3. All that is different is the sensors. Can't be that hard to design. Probably not enough s3 owners out there. I guess I will have to wait impatiently!
