RS3 grill with Adaptive Cruise Control(ACC)

[jiannu]

I have a 2016 Audi S3 with Adaptive Cruise Control(ACC) and prior to this purchase, I bought an aftermarket RS3 grill. Now my dilemma is how to fit my RS3 grill with the ACC radar in the front? Are there any vendors or lead me in the right direction to customize this grill so it doesn't look hacked...

Below is a pic of my grill...




Below that is a picture of a European RS3 with ACC.

Worst case is I am going to notch the lower part of the silver trim and cut a hole in the lower part of mesh for the radar... Any ideas?

id just cut it and rub down the edges to smooth them once cut.

@jiannu - How did you get on with cutting it? Its not very promising that you didn't post the pictures, so I'm thinking it didn't go well?

Hey guys, i ended up cutting it myself..... it looked hacked and the look of it did NOT belong on this car so I ended up getting it finished at a local body shop to smooth out the edges and black out the silver.... I think they charged me like $100CDN. This was shortly after I got the car back in 2016. I regret that I have sold it last year in 2021. It was fun. I believe that the grill with no extra bottom insert should also not interfere with the module and I have heard of other ppl running it with no issues.
