My current 13 S6 grill has seen it's better day. The chrome around the top is starting to bubble (can't believe an $80,000plus car is doing this). I decided to replace with an RS6 style' https://www.ebay.com/itm/291414770340?ul_noapp=true I'm going to remove the bumper and follow the instructions from this post Direct Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El5k04T7ieo

I have night vision, and parking cameras. My concern is when I put the bumper back on I'll get a bunch of error messages. I know the video is from an A6 but should be pretty similar. Any advice from those who have done this before would be appreciated.

Wow only $169.00? I'd be worried that's going to be a cheap piece junk.

I don't know if you put this in yet, but I just did it on my S6. I had the same bubbling around my chrome trim. I wrote up some notes over at Audizine, if you search for "StoneCarbon2009 RS6 Style Grille Install". I don't have night vision, but I do have the parking sensors. It took me about 6 hours to swap out, but I love how it came out. The Stonecarbon grille is decent quality from what I can tell.

I just finished last night. I have night vision and front parking camera. I had to do a lot of trimming on the stoneCarbon grill to get a good fit for my night vision. Several other little areas needed trimmed on the grill to get a good fit but I have a good little trimming grinder. I took my time and it looks really good. My fear was after assembly I would get a bunch of codes but I disconnected the batter prior to work and everything seems to be fine. I would let anyone know if they are getting the stoneCarbon grill have a good dremel and just take your time. It was actually a very fun project and the results are great.
