Default Euro Spec OEM S4 upper grille

Guys, it seems like the OEM Euro spec upper S4 grille is back ordered everywhere. I've had the lower Euro spec grill sitting in my garage for a month now. ECStuning keeps giving me different dates on when they are going to get them in, I can't even get an estimated delivery date from OEMpl.us Anyone know where I can get the upper grill.

Remember, I'm looking for the OEM Euro Spec upper S4 grille, it has the matte black surrounding and graphite center with chrome audi rings.

Thanks.

Default DIY?

I say just pull your top grill out, take the chrome bit off, and either spray it or vinyl it, put it back on and you have your own DIY Euro grill.

I'm considering doing that after talking to all the companies that supposedly keep the Euro grille in stock. They are giving me like a 2 month wait for it. The problem is I already have the lower OEM Euro grille, I'm just waiting to order the top part from somewhere. Any ideas on what kind of paint I should use that will give me the same look as the OEM Audi one. I'm quite capable of popping the trim off but the Euro Spec grille surround looks like it has like a flat black look. I'm good with mechanical work but awful with paint, any ideas?

Anyone else is welcome to chime in please

Pop the chrome part off and spray it with Plastidip, this guy did exactly what you want to do:

a monkey could plasti-dip a grill trim. you'll be fine and the plasti-dip matches the OEM black.
