Default Questions about the RS4 grill (more)...

The picture on the Clairparts website shows (what looks like) a chrome ring around the grill, but I'm looking for the satin ring. I've seen this grill on other S4's

Who makes the RS4 grill with the satin trim around the grill? I'd order the grill, but don't want the chrome...

Any help is appreciated.

Awesome... that's what I needed to know. I guess the picture on the website is misleading. Thanks!

Default Would it be possible...

to swap the chrome trim piece from the S4 grille with the Satin trim piece from the RS4 grill? I am assuming you can take the grill apart, as others have had the trim pieces painted to match the body color.

Default Grav, One part number. One part. All are "satin"(made in Italy) as deliveredf or the RS4. Some have

painted the trim ring to body color and some have swapped the stock US/Can chrome trim ring onto the RS4 grille. The as-delivered satin silver matches the silver cars well.

Look at the RS4 pics and you'll see they all have this finish from the factory, with matching mirrors I think as well.

Default Yes it is pretty easy to swap the S4/RS4 grille trim.
