Default Glossy black grille on 2010 A4

Does the glossy black grille that came on some A4's in 09 fit on teh 2010? is there any option (either S line etc.) that i can order OEM from dealer that will replace current grille without any modifications?

thanks!

I'm not to sure about the glossy black grill on the 09 a4 cause I own an a4 and it's black but I wouldn't call its glossy. Maybe you saw an customized grill? And I don't think there's a diffrance between the regular grill and the s line grill besides the logo. But if you want a glossy grill you could always hit it with a raddle can. It wouldn't be to hard. Take out the grill, clean it, tape it off and paint.

I was interested in a similar thing and according to the dealer only the 3.2 A4 and A5 came with the glossy grill. If you don't want to go through the trouble of painting it you could probably order a 2009 A4 3.2 front grill.

I'm sure I've also seen just the gloss insert available without the need to replace the entire grill.

Edit: Yeah it was on the same site, few options to pick from: http://oemplus.com/index.php?main_pa...roducts_id=953

Yep 09 3.2L A4 Gloss Black grill US spec



If you do this in the USA you'll need the license plate convert trim panel also.

The spray paint is still the cheapest option.

And you can also hit other areas to make them gloss like the plastic that surrounds the foglights( I don't know if that's gloss on the V6)

If you go with spray painting, VHT makes some of the best stuff out there. I have used them in the past and they are markedly better than the likes of Krylon, Rust Oleum, etc.
