Default Front License / Filler Plate

I did search this but am confused on what color our filler strips are. From what I gather, the S-line gets the glossy black but don't know what the non s-line in.

My Q5 should be arriving in a few weeks. It is coming with the front license plate. I live in a State that doesn't require it and the dealer said they will swap it out for a filler without a license plate.

My question is...what are my options on fillers? I have the parking sensors.

Our 2006 A4 has the gray one with two horizontal strips. I prefer a black one over a gray one.

Can I get a black one? I just want to be able to call the Dealership and tell them which one I want.

What are my options?

Thanks,

Jason

If you're getting a 2.0T your grille will be platinum which is gray.
IMO if you put a black filler on a platinum grille it will look out of place.

The 3.2 comes with a black grille so a black filler will be just fine.

The fillers come with and without sensor holes depending on the application.

I have attached a picture from the Audi website.

Is that the standard filler that comes with the 2.0?

Thanks Spijun. You are always there for technical answers!

Any idea which one wold come from the factory in a 2.0t premium plus with Nav in Glacier White exterior?

My dealer just told me they would swap it out for a filler. He made it seem as they only come in 1 variety and I wouldn't have a choice in color.
