The grill was from amazon, but you can also find the same on ebay or Aliexpress. No I purchased my S5 badge separately on Aliexpress. I don't have the camera, for the sensors I just cut out the foam, so they fit, but if you live in America or some other countries you probably don't have pedestrian crash sensor line behind the foam, so, you could just remove it and paint the crash bar black.
Curious what the "pedestrian crash sensor" is, the car informs you if you hit a pedestrian? Kidding aside, what is it?

I believe this depends on market and vehicle suspension settings.
In the event of a low speed collision with a pedestrian detection, it will raise the front of the vehicle as to enable the full use of the crumple zone, impact is absorbed on the foam impact bar, and ensure the object (human) goes above the hood and not under the car.
After removing my stock chrome badge and replacing it with a black one 2 years ago, I seriously considered removing the black one. If I were todo it over again, I’d leave it off.
But whatever you like is the correct answer — no “right or wrong” here.
I sprayed mine with plastidip - can't even tell it's there - I have it up against the headliner to the right of the mirror, so I don't even see it from the driver's seat.
Swapped the chrome rings for glossy black. Removed the S5 emblem to replace with a glossy black version. It's late to arrive.
After washing the car I'm thinking I might like the look better without the S5 emblem.
What do y'all think? Yay or nay?
Personally I think it looks better with the model badge. When I swapped my rings/model badge I considered leaving it off,but it didn't look right to me, I also left the rear quattro badge.
Oddly, my Sportback doesn't have the 2.0T badge, but an A5 coupe I saw yesterday did.
