Default Swap S6 Grill for 2013 RS6 Grill?
Not that I would do this, but I wonder, do you think the Euro spec 2013 RS6 Grill is pin-compatible with the 2013 S6 Grill mounts?

I like the black honeycomb grill... with the QUATRO badging... a lot. ;-) Always thought a blacked grill would be better than the rubber-band grey one on the stock S6/S7.

The honeycomb grill would look wierd on the S6 since the design would not match the lower grills.

The lower grills on the 2013 S6 are actually black honeycomb -- and it would match... they are just not as large as the RS6...

See the pic...

Actually starting to think this may be doable... I loaded the grills into photoshop, overlayed the two grills -- they look like they would be of equal size.

Hmm...

HyperS4 may have some insight, he is quite a modder... will send him a PM.

My beast is Phantom Black too.... would step up the stealth look of the front end. You know, the QUATTRO surround can also be had in Carbon Fiber in addition to silver...

I'll probably stick to the silver to match the existing accents. Lets get that part number lol!
