I was wondering where i would be able to get my hands on an rs3 upper grille. cuz pretty soon the front end is going to be partly redone (upper + lower grille, vrd fogs) then im gonna do part 2 to it which is the lip, entire new bumper, and retrofit. but anyways.


WHERE CAN I GET AN RS3 GRILLE ONLINE. cuz i really dont wanna go to the dealership....

You can't get it from the dealer unless you have a valid RS3 VIN. So far I've only seen the lip kit offered from Racing Solutions (no grille piece).

If you really wanted it, the parts guy at the dealer could get the part number and probably find a way to get it. My parts guy was ready to get it, until he told me how much it was. You're lookin at about $600 unpainted! That's how they keep people from making their cars look like an RS.

100% incorrect. The dealership wants your money. If you REALLY want it from the dealership, they will order it from you.

I was able to order the RS3 front lip without a VIN number or any questioning at all :lalala:

That does not mean I'm incorrect. I'm positive there are ways to weasel your way into getting parts for any car. But the whole reason for buying an RS vehicle is to maintain a sense of uniqueness. Otherwise, they wouldn't be any more special than a regular model. :eyebrow:

the secret in keeping RS parts exclusive is to price them at ridiculous levels. whoever is willing to dish out the money can do so at most dealerships.

it'll be more cause im pairing it with the ground effects kit sideskirts and the kaminari flush mount wing and the kaminair reverse cowl hood.

Im set that this is what i want, nothing will look as good as i think this will, im willing to pay a premium to be that rare and im going to love it.
i already have the s/c installed so...! :lol:
