I really felt that my Ultrasport should have come with s-line badges but in any case I picked up a pair from epi. As for the S4 grille, the installation was pretty straight forward. The only tricky part was getting the stock grille out because you have to hold down a few tabs simultaneously for it to pop out without doing any damage. While this grille ins't drastically different, it gives the car a subtle yet distinctive look and rounds out the front end a little better. The only bad part is that the quattro badge doesn't fit on the new grill but thats something I can live with. Since I left my damn camera in NJ, I have no pics to share at this time and want to save you all the trouble of having to look at my horrific camera phone pics.

Default 2 things... 1) TPIWWP, and 2) why should ultrasport have sline badges?

It's not an sline.

But I still wanna see the pics! :P

Default S line never came to NA on the A4, only A6 and maybe TT IIRC

typically has some performance modifications - the sline 1.8T was 190hp. Plus you get some upgrades on interior, etc.

The general rule of thumb for the various lines is:

S-Line

Sporty Interior Package
Enhanced HP and Torque
Model, Not Package

S

S-level HP and Torque
Substantial Modifications on Suspension and Drivetrain
Consistent MY Availability

RS

Supercar HP and Torque
quattro GmbH Produced
Exclusive Drivetrain and Dynamics
Exclusive Trim
Limited Quantity

Default I never said that he shouldn't.

I just don't understand why Audi is getting inconsistent with it, I guess. Perfect example with the 05 Ultrasport having sline badging and not on the previous year. And the Ultrasport with sline badging not having the performance upgrades of a Euro Sline.

I guess it's just inconsistent on Audi's behalf.
An S4 is an S4, An RS6 is and RS6, more or less. Why should the Sline differ? I dunno.
