Default 2011 A5 Glossy Front grille

So i just picked up my 2011 A5 S-Line. Love the car!

Currently is has the matte gray front grille and I'd like to replace it with the Glossy one(like this one). I'm going to check with my dealer to see what they would charge, but anyone know where I could pick one up?

Noticed a 2011 A5 cab over at A5OC with dual exhaust (one on each side) like the 3.2 had. Is yours this way as well ??

I've got 2.0T, no split dual exhaust.

I'll be taking pics tonight of the car stock, then once the dealer gets the windows tinted, and hopefully new grill, later this week i will post after pics!

Personally, I like matte better than shiny.

How is the 8 speed tiptronic? Feel any difference?

I like it, makes things very smooth. It is a little wierd when you're in Tiptronic or using the padel shifts and the display says "M8" though. lol

The excelleration is fluid, and very little engine noise because the RPM's stay pretty low while in Drive. In Sport the pickup is quick and gear changes are very fast.

Coming from my 2008 A4 2.0T with MT6, i much prefer this Tiptronic. It shifts faster than i did and traffic is cake. The launch from a stand still isn't bad either. It's easy to quickly drop 2 gears with the paddle shifters in traffic or is someone pulls up next to me.

Coming from my 2000 A8 with Tiptronic, it feels about the same but maybe a little more aggresive. Thats expected i guess.

According to Audi, the 8-speed auto should get about 15% better fuel economy compared with the 6-speed auto in 2010.
