Default B9 Q5 Grille Options?

New to the Q5 world and didnt happen to see any answers with a quick search. Does anyone know if a B9 Q7 grille will fit a B9 Q5 grille? Im looking to go RS style, however I see more options for the Q7.

Why put cheap Chinese junk on a nice car?

Sorry but I don't get trying to make a Q5 look like an RS that its not. Also will hurt the value of the car at trade in time.

Well, a few reasons....

1) RS grilles just look nicer IMO, they don't exist in the US, so it should be pretty obvious I'm not playing pretend. I dont leave badges on it, only rings.
2) There are no OEM B9 RSQ5 grilles that I can see for sale.
3) Its an Audi, not a Ferrari, and many of these dealers (with some research on your end) have great quality. IE Stone Carbon eBay seller is a well known distributor.

Chinese junk parts just deface a beautiful original car.

The real thing is best, and more valuable.

Went Chinese aftermarket because Audi has ZERO aftermarket parts support. Heck, they are still struggling to get a SQ7 in the US market. I THINK they might have finally brought in the blackline version for the Q5 platform. Bizarre since the showroom had it for the Q3.

I got tired of my SQ5 looking like every other Audi vehicle. From the front on, The entire Audi family of vehicles look almost identical (with the exception of size).

And, it's just an Audi. A dressed up VW.....

Audi dealers have nice Q5 grilles in stock. Aftermarket junk just mars the appearance and reduces the value. Nobody will pay as much for a modded car as an original.

If you like it do it. Its your car but be aware you are actually hurting its appearance and value.

Doesn't matter if its a Toyota, Audi, Kia or Bentley, modded cars are devalued in the market. People always pay more for original cars.
