Yep, a front euro plate holder is just under the plate filler on all B8 grilles. You could make that work or you could pick up a front US plate holder if you need to sport a plate.

OR?

Also, I don't see any Black filler plates for the US license plate.

Parking aid is referring to front mounted parking sensors. If you don't have them all you need is the standard grille I posted a few post up. This one - click me for the blackout B8 S4 grille without parking aid.

Correct, they are not black - you would need to use some SEM's bumper coat (extremely durable and available at any major auto store) to make it black to run plate-less.

As for parking aid, your probably don't have it if you have to ask. When you appraoch an object in the front of the car does it beep at you telling you how close you are to an object?

Time to lower it about an inch now to complete the look.

Not to play devil's advocate, but I've got to play devil's advocate! The blackout grille looks absolutely amazing on these cars!!! And we happen to have them available

On second thought, don't think I'm going to go with a blackout grill if they're that expensive. Didn't think I'd be looking at almost $700 for the grill. I did, however, see on your website that I could get a black filler plate for just $120. Looked at the front of my car and the grill looks pretty dark as-is...just has that big grey filler plate in the middle. If that was black I think it would do a sufficient job of making the whole front look darker. Will probably place an order for one of those this week!

Hmmm... Yeah, I'd want to run the US spec front plate... if I'm going to be spray painting it anyhow, can't I just use the one off the stock grille and paint that to save $$?
