Where to get an S-Line grill like this....

[buel]

Hi,
I own a 2001 1.9 TDI 110 SE Pre-Facelift A3 and am bored with what I consider a boring standard grill. Today I seen this grill on a similar care to mine:

Please can I ask where I can buy one of these and will there need to be any modifications to fit one? (I must point out that I wouldn't mind the rest of the bumper in the image as I don't even have fog lights in mine).

Thank you,

Buel

Tuffty has a very good point....

Although the S3 grille is similar in design... If you want a grill like this one get a second hand S3 grill and either wrap or spray (wrapping will last better) the outer chrome surround.

Here's a "how to" to give you some inspiration:

Hope that helps

Wow!!
Thanks for the help!
Please can I show my naivety by asking what 'wrapping' is?

 

[VAG-Slag]

Vinly wrapping, errrr, when you wrap something in vinyl. . . ?

Ha!.. Sorry, probably the best way of explaining it though.

And I actually gave you the wrong link there... These two explain better:

Yes, my mistake. Please can I ask if this grill will fit an A3 then?

No mate, it won't fit...

I'm so sorry, by the time I looked at your links last night it was way past the time I normally go to bed to get up at stupid o' clock.
My mistake...

 

[buel]

OK, I'm back and feeling not-so-stupid after a decent night's sleep. Sorry for that, guys.

I have read both threads and now feel a bit more knowledgeable. I might have a go at wrapping but would probably feel a bit safer contacting Damo on here to pay him to do a 'proper' job as opposed to anything I might f**k up!

Regarding an S3 grill that will fit my 8L, I took a quick peek on ebay and could only find this:

Can anyone point me in the right direction in order to get a cheaper one, if that's possible please?

eBay or the classifieds... there are also a few facebook groups selling S3 spares
