I know its not an S-line But it was the only thing that i could manage to find the make the grill look right.

I do have the sportpackage &amp; Nav so its kinda S-line Ish

but if you have the sportpackage doesn't that make it an "s-line". as far as i know (so correct me if i'm wrong), the s-line is just the 07 model with the sport package?

No i think the s-line pretty much refers to the lip kit and more agressive grill

Default The best part of this whole thing is that I ordered all the parts direct from Audi Dealer

no need to go through ECS.

Default it took about 2 hours and around 25 different screws. The toughest part was...

Getting the old Grill popped out of the Bumper. It is a fairly easy to do but I would recommend having a second person help on the install.

The extra set of hands is a must

Default Still trying to decide if i should do it..looks nice on your car man!

I want to black out the car pretty much, but I have the roof rails so theres that aluminum at the least. Tryign to decide if the car being tinted, and black grill will look good with the aluminum rails.

Not sure if i like the chrome mirrors..we'll see.
