[WillieFlo]

Wondering if an RS Style grille is available from anyone yet for the B9 S4........

Had mine for a while now. Got it from Thomas at Emmanuele Design.

Thank you! Dude, your car is exactly how I want mine built colors and wheels, with exception of mine having 20x10’s. It looks like perfection!

[EmmanueleDesign]

Haven't actually seen the silver one, yet. It flows well with all the alu trim pieces. I like.

I’m strongly considering this. How’s the fitment?

[STICKY RICE]

Pretty much perfect. Zero issues.

Hey all. I’m a C7.5 owner whose done the same to my grill. Wondering if you all also have a foam piece exposed behind the grill. My aftermarket RS grill leaves it exposed. Haven’t really decided how to address that. Doesn’t really bother me but I figure I will find a way to cover it up down the line

It didn’t have a foam piece behind it what I did was grab some rattle can black and sprayed it black

Did you guys install the grill yourselves? How was the bumper removal process?

I did it myself took about an hour and half. Pretty easy it’s Similar to the b8 bumper removal pretty sure there’s a write up about it on here somewhere. It was pretty easy also swapping it out just be extra careful with removing the clips that hold the grille as it’s plastic and you don’t want things snapping off. But once you got it all over swapping things over and reinstalling it is cake it just figuring how to get it out carefully. Hope that helps

Curious - are there any difference in drag from the stock to RS grill? I can see the obvious improvements to cooling etc...

[S4_Pedro]

I’d say it’s a benefit with the rs more going in to the front of engine etc.

I'm still looking for a RS style grill with a mount for my front camera.

Anyone?!

The all have the mounting spot for them. You can either buy the Audi RS camera mount or you can zip tie it like this. IMG_1025.JPG

What made it harder to install?

So are there a bunch of different RS grilles available? I just started looking into it and have been wondering about the front camera mount myself.

I did a write up about it. It was one thing after another. I don’t believe this one has a spot for a front camera, I don’t have that package.

Here is the write up though

I noticed Emmanuel Design has the grille back in stock, and they have an option for a front camera bracket...

Is there any issue with these grilles fitting the 2019 S4 given that there were some changes to the front bumper for the 2019 model year?

[kpalakode]

Has anyone experienced the left side parking sensor going off every time i am close to a car after putting in the RS4 grille? If so, how did you resolve it?

This, can anyone confirm?

[kpalakode]

All i can tell you is once i installed it on mine ( the parking sensor kept going off) and the issue was that the honeycomb was making the sensors go off. They tried to lift the sensors (The grey bar) so that it would fit but still had the same issue. So i had to go back to my OEM one.

[apadamsey]

Just a quick question on painting the rebar when switching grilles. Has anyone done it and what did you use? I painted mine before switching the grilles, however, it is all chipped up after the winter season and now looks like shit.

Use black plastidip, I had it on my a4 crashbar for 5 years, never one chip. I did 5 coats.

Plastidip is more durable then regular rattlecan paint.

Did you use the bracket EMD sells?

[Sturn992]

I guess you aren’t carrying this part anymore

[Batman0424]

Connect with Mops @ Nemesis - they have this grill now.

[Sturn992]

Thanks I will

I got the BK Motorsport RS4 style grille installed on mine and my left sensor has been going off too...
I think it’s a fitment issue because if I pull on the module hard it stops. Not sure how to resolve it otherwise

I would advise against getting the BK Motorsports. I had nothing but issues throughout its entire life.

The parking sensors false read because they are mounted much lower than the OEM grill. Every single time I would go down a curb they would go off. I replaced it with an EMD grill and 0 issues.
