Default Help on Black Filler Plate for S5

Does anyone know what the correct partnumber is for a S5 black filler plate? I ordered what I thought was the correct sku and both times I was sent the correct sku, but wrong part. The correct sku on ECSTUNING according to their website is Mfg Part# 8K0807287A3FZ. See pic below. It has 7 slots on the top which matches the S5 grill. I ordered this part.



I got from ECSTUNING the following part, even though SKU on the part was labeled correct.


This part has 11 slots and matches the A5 grill. This was the same part i got when I ordered it the first time from another dealer.

No idea what's going on.

I ordered that exact part number from http://www.europaparts.com for my S5. Installed easily.

Call ECS Tuning because their web site clearly shows the part as having 7 slots: http://www.ecstuning.com/ES2063769/

It may be that their web site is hosed up - I see that they actually have two different ECS part numbers for that same Audi part number. They also have: http://www.ecstuning.com/ES2081110/

It cost us $90 to have the filler plate painted body color before delivery. All the Braman Audi sales guys came out and said "Gee, that looks great - why didn't I think of that"?

I'd done similar custom body color stuff to my '01 A6 BiTurbo.

Yeah, they're sending me that one. Weird, they have 3 different filler plates with the same mfg sku, but different ecs partnumbers. I told the rep to check that the part has 7 slots before sending it out. Can't be that hard right?

Another update. ECSTUNING pulled another sku of the same partnumber and part had 11 slots. We called it a day and they are going to refund me. I'm giving up on the black filler plate and the contrast with my gray grille. I then ordered the platinum grey filler plate. At least it'll match my grill. The pic of the grey filler plate had 7 slots and so did europaparts. If that grey grille comes with 11 slots I'm going to kill someone.
