Before you scroll down looking for more comments make sure to click that subscribe button! but after that drop me a comment about how you think it looks, did I make the right choice getting the RS3 grill rater than the S3??

[@maurice6171]

You still got old grill I'll buy it inbox me

[@hauruck246]

Where do you buy that Grill?

[@KevinUrban-u1z]

You should have left the original classic design. Maybe paint it black or the color of the car. Now it looks like a poverty spec. S3

Bro. You ruined your can with Chinese garbage. What's next, fake carbon fiber mirror caps ?

[@martindyson1874]

You inspired me Mati, took me ages mainly because I had a rounded off T30. Got about 7 spare T25 and 30 screws(inside of the old grill). So satisfied I managed to do it myself.

[@MrHypoGaming]

I got one of these and been needing to find a tutorial to get it done thank you 😃

Hope it helps mate! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Mati, I'm across the pond, and haven't had any luck finding a grill that would fit my car that doesn't have the static Lic Plate holder. I have a 2011 A3 5 Door, and need that exact grill. Could you post link as to where you purchased that grill at. Also wanted to say, new to the Channel, and it's nice to see someone as clueless (sometimes) as myself, still getting their hands dirty. Keep up the good work.

I think the grille sizes are the same between A3/A3-Sline/S3 on the 8p chassis. Look up gbt-autostyling on eBay, they’ve got one which is a bit more expensive than ct carbon one but it states in the description that it fits all A3 8p models (if you wanted to go the safer route).

[@AbidKhan-jc2ry]

Changing grill brilliant but silver badge still gives old look. So please change it to black. I have A3 convertible white black edition. I am going to do it in couple of days time in front black. Wish me luck. Anyways thanks for the clip to share skills.

[@meteor1522]

Any idea how much a bodyshop / garage would charge to do this if I supply the grill?

[@TheCuriousHobbit]

Looks fresh mate, what's an honest opinion on the quality of the grill????

[@matimcfetridge]

To be honest mate its hard to say as I have nothing to compare it to, I wouldn’t say its good quality as theres quite a bit of excess from the mouldings etc but It may be better than some others? Who knows

what paint did you use for the crash bar mate? did you primer it or laquer it etc aswell or not?
