Default What kind of grille is this?

Well long story short, some ******* stole my S4 grille, fogs, mirrors and wiper blades (why anyone would steal old wiper blades is beyond me) and now im starting to slowly get the parts together. I came across this grille on ebay and i was wondering if anyone has any pictures of it on a car or knows what kind of grille this is. Thanks!

I have a badgeless grille similar to that and I think it's the same as the ones on ebay for ~$30. the grille I have has five horizontal bars, like oem, unlike that one with only three and also mine has the same amount of vertical bars as oem (can't really see them in this pic). a guy at my school has that grille in the ebay ad you posted, it looks ok but kind of strange.. I like mine very much better..



by the way, I had to bend the thing you pull to open the open so I can reach it from under the grille. since it's supposed to go through the grille but there is no opening for it on that badgeless grille. it came with an extension but I didn't even know how to use it.. I've also seen people cut a spot in the grille for it but that looks weird.

Well my audi is white, and before i had an S4 grille painted satin black, badges and all and i couldnt be happier with the look. I saw the grille you have on ebay as well, its about $5 more than the 3 row one. I guess ill get the one you have, i think it will look pretty clean, esepecially on a white car.

stole your wiper blades? Kinda makes you wish you could catch someone doing something like that so you can ask them wtf they're thinking, then kick them in the nards.

The grille comes with a special tip that goes on the latch instead of the factory one. its longer and flat so it fits through the grille.

Haha yeah, i don't know why anyone would steal wipers...The best part about this whole thing is that i found out who did it. Ill be paying him a visit real soon
