Grill from TVP

The badge from your existing grill will not fit. You'll need the 285mm version.

Here's a useful video:

It makes me cringe when they peel back the arch liner because they are very stiff. I'd put some masking tape on the edge of the wing lip so to avoid scraping the paint off and rusty arches later. Or you could take the wheel off and remove it completely because they drop out once all the fasteners have been released.

You can stop the video at 15:47

The interesting part is under that foam crash bar cover will most likely be a flexible hose for the 'pedestrian protection system', so you can't remove it. Instead, you will need to cut the foam to suit the geometry of the new grill, and add cut outs for the parking sensors (and camera if you have one). A long super sharp knife, heat gun and patience are required. If you mess it up, it's only £30 for a new one from Audi.

Some people have reported issues with the camera angle on some grill designs, so be sure yours is OK before getting heavy with the glue.

And lastly, don't forget to plug in your parking sensor to the loom on the car.

Hi jdragon, 

I happen to have bought the grille you recommend here also... but no rings as you point out.  The link you posted for the rings has gone, any ideas on an alternative? I'm a bit stuck here!

Hi all,

Bought this grille for my B9... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255374205676

Pretty clear from the picture (and the grille sat in front of me) that it does not include the rings.  The clips can clearly be seen however I can't find any rings on eBay that match.

I thought this product would save me but not sure it would be a fit... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373535697865?hash=item56f8766bc9:g:0NAAAOSwKQZhRftO&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsIEaNmXM7aH8FuytrJF%2FSrpy3Ob57J2sR4EPGzwTEZXjqNLLWc8aG0OstriY0b8sqYpBY5H2SD1yXZ3v8mJIRPrpKCimZNTQnvWkFM746mdgJmBPkd2%2BVpNGzjQ75tkDJSFMajjr3tSqub%2FtpYjdHrKDtw92vpRhMTs2jtY7baPtEVh5ouVKOtk5ZQOskTyluIYfKhijpVOm1IrX3UujSnMrO0Jbk0PZLLmFjGRxNZLk|tkp%3ABk9SR7LOzOH8YA

Can anyone guide me please?

Cheers!
