Headlights look good. I have been tempted to buy the same ones... You can definitely tell that grille is not oem but I think it still looks good. Post pics when you get them on!

So on the flag badge, the one on the eBay link you provided says its just got glue tape on it, is that all you did to stick it to the front grille or did you work it some other way to make it stay on there better?

Nope I just used the sticky tape on the back of it. I'm going to check on it every now and again and if it seems like its getting loose, I'm gonna use some epoxy to get it on there permenantly

Great purchase! I can't wait to see those headlights on your car. Are you also going to do the DRL?

And yeah, the grille isn't OEM. The mesh of the OEM RS4 is slightly different. It's great looking and different though!

Personally though, I'm not really digging the painted/black outer.

Awesome! Do you have a link to that Ebay store where you got the headlights? I tried searching, but I failed. Do the lights come with all the screws and stuff? 'Cause I just ran out and looked at my lights and noticed a missing screw..

Also, I have that same German badge on the back of my Jetta. My brother has one on the front and back of his Golf. :P

You have to search in stores. Don't search the name in eBay's main search bar, over to the left is an option to search sellers, stores, etc. Click that and search the store. Popped right up for me, got browsin' and found the same grille as CC just got, couldn't pass up the deal, paid just under 75 bucks shipped (55 for the part, 20 for shipping, no tax ). There's one thing I can finally tick off my stc mod list haha

Well it seems I'm not as original as i thought lol. Jerks! :P

This is a link to the Audi parts homepage of Eurosport garage. They don't always have cool stuff, but if you keep an eye on the store they occasionally get awesome parts in there cheap. I've been watching it for a coupla months and the other night just decided to buy some stuff. FYI the same exact lights I bought are on the second page near the bottom. They say "Helix" but they shipped me Depo lights, so who knows.

Yeah I couldn't either, I looked around for RS4 grilles for a while and all of them were at LEAST double, usually triple that price. It's not a perfect replica but I'm happy with it
