Filler plate woes...thoughts anyone...
So I rock up to the dealer today to pick up my black/brushed alum. filler part, only to find they are trying to give me the std S4 one (grey/chrome). Tell them no, I want the "E 3FZ" black/brushed alum. part (thanks again to sparkhill, I'm all over this!). First they say not a valid part # and can't be obtained in the U.S., but after insisting it can, they re-check and say "oh, you're right!".
O.K. we're making progress, except now they say there isn't one anywhere in the U.S. and although it's on order it could take 4 weeks, 6, more, who knows.
Anyone else having any luck w/this?

Ordered the same one today and it is backordered...
Just think of how happy you'll be when it finally arrives. Personally I think for a $70K something car they could have included both fillers, the original one from the factory and the one with the license plate.

Eventually they'll drop this frickin setup and get a normal grill again(hope)...
the grill will NEVER look right or integrated with these license plate or not, multi style filler sections marring the grill and entire front of the car, IMO. What a bunch of PIA crap from Audi in this design. The shield grill WILL work AND look good if they tuck it back into the body and lobby every state to drop the need for a front plate, lol.
