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).

 

hmmmm. does anyone know if there is a grille that looks similar to the rs3?

 

bump?

 

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.

 

yea i want those grills too!!

 

JP USA's grille is kinda similar

 

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

 

well, my godfather works in the parts department and can give me an employee discount so would i be looking around 300???

 

probably more like 450-500

 

by the time im done with paint also id might as well buy an rs1 grille! well, almost. maybe sometime later..... when i have money to be able to afford this thing. but ill def. try the dealer wehn i do have enough.

 

hmmm maybe i can work some magic with an ebay upper grille..... since im buying one anyway. watch out in the ppc, my badgeless OEM style grille will be up there!!!

 

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.

 

i am working my way through on getting the RS3 full bumpers for my car and the only way youll get them is through the dealership.
and it wont be cheap at all.

and the one at racing solutions is a knockoff. AKA poser crap

 

$1300/bumper and that is dealer cost

 

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.

 

i know and am willing.

 

over 3k for a lip kit installed and painted?
thats the price the SC installed!!! lol

but you will enjoy the kit, its very nice and clean

 

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...!

 

Beh! RS3 Grille, nothing new... I already have it in one of my cars =P!!

bwuahahaha xD!!
