This is the first one I got and they did the surround in carbon fiber. Still trying to figure out how to post a pic of my item as the file is too large

 

[Neessh]

Here is the carbon fiber surround one they did. Looks awesome but gonna go with the OEM style ......I think.
This one will fit the facelift model but styled more like the pre facelift (but with facelift "quattro")

 

[Neessh]

And this is the one from eBay that I did a carbon wrap with 7d glossy carbon vinyl for experimental purpose. Took off the RS3 logo and replaced rings with black. Still need to do the cut out for the pre sense and add re install the "quattro" though. Contemplating on ordering one just like this but without the rings

The one you got from ebay few posts ago looks the best mate close to oem look.
Like look of this but possibly chrome to match the chrome pack i got with sepbang blue

 

[Neessh]

Contact them and they'll probably meet your request. They did awesome work on mine. It to be different from the usual for sure. That's why I went with the carbon....

q u a t t r o .......lettering is too far apart

 

[Neessh]

That's what I noticed and told the seller. The one I got was spot on

Now you mention it does look abit spaced pmsl

Picture of an oem one I found online

 

[Neessh]

And the e Bay one I got out of the box (removed license plate mount)....
Quattro emblem seems good and rings also look good. Pretty spot on in my opinion but maybe someone else see some flaws that I don't?
Anyway, so far this is the closet I found to oem and I'm pretty happy with it. Just wish it had the option with the pre sense cut out

http://www.xenonz.co.uk Are doing a rep grill. I have used these before and they are very good quality.

 

[Neessh]

Yes i saw that one. Looks very nice as well. Wonder if China is doing the manufacturing on it?

 

[Unit18Automotive_S3]

I would probably say it is. But I would hope the Xenonz guys are doing some quality checking lol

 

[Neessh]

Just calculated it with shipping and USD conversion. Still cheaper for me by a few $ on the China one and more oem look. Will remove the rs badge and see if I can mount the s3 badge instead. Nice find tho....Thinking more and more of these will start showing up. Waiting for the cut out version, if anything

I've never used alibaba before. Is it like Amazon marketplace? How much protection is there for buyers?

I can almost feel a group buy going on ;-)

Yes, similar to Amazon. I did scroll through many vendors and they have some that'll sell just one piece. May have to get it shipped to one buyer first then have the buyer ship it out as I don't think the seller would would ship to multiple addresses on a group buy. Not sure though

Yess!!! LOOKS AMAZING!! RS STYLE GRILL for my S3 Facelift 2017 already installed by Parson Garage in Madrid (it took 2 hours of work..)

 

[oli356]

I'm no expert to point out if there are any differences to the OEM one, but it looks great !

Looks amazing. Was it hard to fit do you know?

The RS grill is a huge step up from either of the standard grills, either black edition or standard S3 grills.

It is curved in the middle which makes it more dramatic and has more detail and gloss than the other two grills.
Here is my grill; its hard to make out the curve in the photo but its obvious in person.

about 2 hours! But no problem at all..

 

[SASKCHAUCH]

Did you have to modify_ cut hole out for the auto cruise sensor??

 

[New S4 Man]

the RS grill looks gopping imo. The q u a t t r o badge looks like a halfords sticker. Were Audi's design team on drugs when they came up with that?

S3 grill is much more low key and looks better imo
