Default Just installed Euro V12 TDI Grille

I know 2010 is very similar but I think this is slightly different.



The trim ring around the outside is a matte silver. Do the 2010 vertical chrome edges have a dual chrome piece like this?

Just went on the Audi US website. If you build a 2010 TDI Q7 with S Line, you do not get the vertical grille. Looks like the 4.2 S Line does get the vertical grille.

You appear to be correct - the front is totally different between TDI and the 4.2.

I wasn't quite sure, but are the LED daytime running lights removed on the TDI also? They also look very different...

Default Nice!

I assume fitment was good out of the box? If you don't mind, how much did it cost?

took me 45 minutes to install. There is another thread that show where the screws are. 6 of them. Then it just pops out. The V12 version has 2 more screw posts in the upper right and left corners. You just clip those off with a pair of large dykes and it snaps in and the 6 screws go back in the original holes. It seems the V12 has 2 more screws, I dont see why as they are not needed. But the fit is as exact as the original.

It was $295 from OEM plushttp://oemplus.com/index.php?main_pa...roducts_id=976

This looks great, I want the same look without having to get the V8 model.
