Hey all so I broke down and bought the grille. I think no one has shown one with a front plate so this is for us less fortunate souls who have to put up with it.
Here are my thoughts;
-Quality of plastic is high, with good fit and finish.
-Needs different plate mounting bracket as it is pretty cheap.
-The plate bracket has to be low in order for camera which blocks out the Quattro lettering.
-Need to cut out bumper crash bar.
-Need to fab up a mounting bracket for camera. (pic enclosed)

Tons of bolts, air dams, belly pans, guards etc. Audi really over engineered it. Definitely it is a good thing but a pain in the *** trying to re and re.
Big pain to get the existing grill to separate from the bumper cover.
This is the picture of my fabbed up camera mount. Finally all done as you can see the plate holder is too large and the plate covers up wordings.
Amazing car! I just ordered mine in mythos black and looking to get the same grill. Is this grill the one from alibaba.com or the one from ebay? Thanks in advance for the help.

Ebay. Chinese vendor. Nice guy even sent me a post card from Suzhou.
FYI - it looks like there is a new honeycomb grille design that is starting to make appearances on eBay. I also found the manufacturer's Alibaba page with more color/trim options. It looks like the sensor mounts are lower and grill isn't broken up into two sections like the first designs. No idea on if the camera mount works or if any other modifications are needed to get this design to work.
I just purchased this grill from eBay (fully honeycomb design, no 2 sections). Will post here after the install. I have a premium plus, so no camera mount to worry about.
