Default Some of the B7 A4 crowd did. It doesn't look bad, but...

I don't recommend it...it makes it look like a cross between a B6 and a B7.

On second thought, looking at your pic and the excellent ones provided by JS, it actually looks really good. I understand why Audi doesn't provide it as an option, as it breaks up their uni-piece shield grill...which I am still waiting for them to relegate to the trash bin.

Default I'm lovin' it. A must do mod for me.

Of course, my car will be Phantom Black, so it won't be a huge contrast. I'm just a stickler for every little detail, however.

Default Yea I felt it flowed really well with the design of the grill and the chrome.

my bro in law works paint in an auto shop so it was cake getting it done and if you dont like the way it turns out well drop the $25.00 or whatever on a new part.
