I'll have installed pics and a few tips posted by the end of the week in my thread.
By the way, I bought mine a few days before it was posted here from another eBay seller.
The seller I bought mine from has the grille in the black finish above, and another all silver finish with a black Quattro badge at the bottom.
The silver version would be nice on white or silver B9s.

I should have one installed shortly. I agree with your statement of not liking the stock S5 grille much (though I like it better than the stock S5 black optic version).
To me, someone stating that installing this aftermarket grille is an attempt to imitate the RS5 model is also like saying a white person who gets artificially tan is trying to look Hispanic or Black.
It's all about aesthetics. No posing is going on and I'll pull that RS5 imitation badge on it off immediately.

I also will be installing the Audi OEM Black optic lower left and right bumper grilles, along with the lower center grille. Hopefully they match the main RS style grille because they are like a gloss dark grey color, not all black.
Here's those links Freesole.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this looks after install. I am having a hard time justifying the current cost of the black optics parts from TAG and Europrice... plus I like the honeycomb look.
Question - It looks like the rings aren't included. Can the rings badge be transplanted form the original grille to this one?

On Europrice - https://europrice.us/grille--a5-s-line-black-opticc - it looks like there are some options to be considered when swapping the front grille; front parking sensors, US plate holder and front camera trim.
Not sure if these are items the Chinese version addresses.. but might be worth considering depending on your vehicle's options.

For me, I plan to get the STO n SHOW license plate mount (or something similar) which eliminated the need for a grille mounted plate.

It also does come with the chrome Audi rings emblem, or one can take off the factory one and plug it right to the new one.
