So, I dont recall if I had told you about it, but I kinda ordered a new front grill for my AUD1ESEL project. An aftermarket "RS1" grill in gloss black from Germany, which arrived some days before.
Definitely not cheap, but quality was super good to be honest.
Lost no time, and decided to go for it on my own, after work
Bumper came off, dont mind the headlight, i thought it needed to be removed, whereas it didnt. Although there is a DIY online, I wanted to go for it on my own, weird right
Sit back and enjoy
Two grilles side by side - and the usual aftermath of garage work, lol
OEM grille removed
New Grille on
Thought the Oem crashbar would look ugly in silver behind the grille, so I removed it. Dont worry just to paint it.
Done
ReInstalled
Installed everything back on - minus the Audi rings which were smaller in the A1 and did not fit
I then got a new Audi badge from dealership, which is slightly bigger, and comes from the A6-A7-A8-RS6-RS7 etc.
It was then ready
The grille also had the mounting thing for the license plate - but look at it
So I thought I'd make a vinyl plate, to go right here
So I did
Looks really good now, and legal-ish LoL
Sorry for the iphone pics - but I didnt have my camera with me at the time
Cheers
