Default ‘RS’ Grill version 2 for S5


Searched around for the RS grill replacement on eBay and found this version which works well for me. The proximity sensors mount in the correct location because the hex grill pattern is continuous from top to bottom. There isn’t a camera sensor holder below the Audi logo but my car didn’t come with one so it’s fine. I chose to retain the foam structure of the crash bar in this case to keep the absorption capability intact. Sensors fit right under it and isn’t blocked. They clip nicely into the grill.

The build quality of the grill is great. There were 2 areas which were not good:

1. Audi logo that came with it is a little thicker than the stock Audi logo. I chose to transplant my existing logo to this new grill. The RS grill logo holder can be unscrewed from behind to make it easier to mount the stock logo.

2. The number plate holder that came with it had poorly made screw mounts that broke off. So I used my own number plate holding method. (Number plate has been masked out in the photos.)

Overall, very satisfied with the new look!

That is the look I like with the full sized hex grid top to bottom.

Now, I wait for a version with the camera mount.

If only this had the camera mount, I'd be all over it!

When I get my car (it is quite the story) I will buy this grill and design a 3d printable camera mount.

I mean... IF I get my car. That is why I am not buying the grill yet.

The silver trim enhances without detracting, unlike an all back version.

well done
