Default Anyone seen an RS-style grill for the A3?

Does onyone know of an aftermarket company that makes an RS-style grill for the A3?

Example: http://www.fourtitude.com/gallery/albums//Audi/A4-S4-RS4%20(B5,%20B6,%20B7%20and%20B8)/RS4%20(B7)/Sedan%20-%20USA/001.jpg

I doubt that an RS4 grill would fit without some serious modification...

you can actually purchase an S3 grill, "less modification" than using another audi model's grill. However, there will be a small gap at the
bottom because the S3 grill is shorter than the standard or Sline grill.
Someone had made "proper" modifications to the gap by having it professionally sealed and painted.

Right, I've seen the S3 grill, but the grill on the RS models is different. The S3 is similar to the A3 in that the grill inlets are square -- sort of a cross-hatch pattern. The RS grills are more like diamond inlets, sort of a mesh style. I was hoping there was something like this available that would match the curvature of the car and have provisions for mounting the rings (versus making my own with metal mesh.)

I may end up going with an Oetty grill -- it is basically what I am looking for, only downside is the rings look cheesy on it. There doesn't seem to be a built-in mount for them like the factory grill, looks like you just have to glue them on or something.

IT's not ricing! Considering its German it Krauting! Actually I just see a grill change or a chin spoiler or a otty kit as just an enhancement to the already beauty of AUDI.

There are kits for the A3 that I consider 'ricey' (Rieger anyone?), but I think the Oetty is very tasteful and complements the lines of the car quite nicely. Regardless, I wasn't asking about a kit, what I was asking for was a grill that looks like the one that comes STOCK on the RS4/RS6... I guess Audi designed these cars to look ricey...

FWIW though, I wasn't asking for opinions, nor was I trying to convince anyone to do anything to THEIR car, so in the future I'd appreciate it if you refrain from posting if you don't have something positive to say.

kthxbye
