Default No one . . . read the thread and you'll see that none of the grilles are shipping out until

march 24th or something like that.

Default There are some pics of electrical tape in this thread. You'll get an idea what they look like,

Default Do you have a satin grill to put on?

I don't have my A3 yet but I've only been told we have to take off the bumper cover first. Then you have to be careful with the clips holding the grill to the bumper cover.

Agreed. The black doesn't do Murano Green justice.

Default Paint doesn't adhere very well to chrome.

I'd consider cutting a piece of clear bra to go over the painted part once it's finished.

Default chris@pdperformance.com said he sanded the chrome off and painted it.

I haven't seen any finished pics of the painted grill.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2214475">http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2214475</a</li></ul>

Default actually he peeled it off

but i'd be curious to see if there was any visual change in the thickness of the grille because of that
