Thanks fluff. Why is it called Titanium? It's not Ti color and I doubt that it's metal...

Default I do like it - check it out...

I dropped it off last night and picked it up this morning. Cost me $75. It's a different look. I like it better - so far. It just looks finished now where before it looked like it was all primed and ready for paint. Only time will tell if it has any "staying power" or not.

It is part of the S4 Titanium package And it is definitely plastic.

Default I'm having this done before I take delivery.....

I should be taking delivery next week!!!!!!! Having the front filler plate as well as front &amp; rear "Audi Sport" license plate frames painted in Phantom Black to match the car. On the last two cars I've owned, I've painted the front and rear plate frames, and front plate mounting platform in body color. While it sounds like a small detail, the overall finished look is more dramatic than you might expect. Also, given the fact that my car is black, it's going to be a more subtle move anyway. Like you said, on Ibis white, for instance, it would be much more dramatic and would really change the look of the whole front end.

If I had a light/bright colored car, I would probably keep two filler plates, one body color, one standard, and change them out from time to time as my mood dictated.

Default Sounds nice, we think alike. Show us pics when you get it.

Black suits the B7 very well. I was behind a black B7A4 yesterday and it looked incredibly rich.

(Above photo taken through a window w/ crappy camera) but shows painted filler panel.

Now there's an idea. Or maybe a one-piece (full mesh) aftermarket grill...
