I think there is one option for you. Xenonzuk is selling an rs5 bumper convervion for the a5/s5 and it comes with the badgeless grille. I am pretty sure that in this particular application they are fitting an rs5 sized grille and not one made to fit the a5/s5 bumper. You could confirm with them if it fits the oem rs5 and ask how much they would sell the grille alone. Because yeah two sets of ring would look really weird I was not too sure if that's what you wanted to do.

From the pics it really looks like the wider rs5 grille

Yeah two sets of rings would definitely look weird. I'd rather not deal with removing the grill just to make it ringless. Not worth the hassle to me. The S5 grill swap makes more sense as there are cosmetic differences and you get the added benefit of no rings for this look. I gain no cosmetic difference other then having no rings. Doesn't seem worth it. Thanks for the info though and one less car on the road copying your look haha.

I would not mess with the rs5 front end either!

i ordered the same car! Getting it in a few weeks.
quick question since you got the black optics and you’re in Toronto as well, is your rear diffuser black as well or is it grey ?
Not sure if the black optics blacks out the diffuser as well.

Some of the 2018 builds had an MMI issue where the Birdseye camera would not stick and often revert to graphic when in R. There is a whole thread re this in this forum. The fix was finally issued few weeks back.
