Default Front plate delete?
I took delivery of my car this past weekend and it had a front plate already installed. It seems if I remove the bracket, i'll still have an empty rectangular hole. I know Audi makes a piece of plastic that goes in there. Question is: did your car come with one or did you order one? If ordered, anyone have the PN ?

Thanks!

There are two different part numbers. One for the coupe and a different one for the SB.

Just to be sure, I had to have my Audi parts dept look up the right number because there a several identical filler brackets but they are in slightly different color/finishes.

Thank you both. I guess the safest bet is to order/buy directly from a local dealer.

I ordered P/N 8W6807287BRN4 from https://parts.audivirginiabeach.com/...07287BRN4.html

Best price I could find and is correct for A5 Sportback.

Same here. I’ve ordered a number of things from VA Beach Audi.

Good tip, I didn't like having a plate area since PA does not require the front plate. I think this one was $120 and had to supply the vin to get the correct color

I’m hoping the new New Jersey Governor sees just how much “revenue” could be saved by NOT requiring the front plate. But the LEOs would try to fight that change, I’m relatively certain, as it could make scanning and cataloging plates that much more difficult.

But the RS5 grille looks so much cleaner without a front plate.
