I ordered my Caractere Grill unpainted after looking at pics of your car. I just want to verify that your grill is unpainted or did you paint it black? Here is a hijacked pic from your Fotki

1. When attaching the grill to the bumper (with provided brass screws) DON'T screw the bottom or top ones in too much or you'll come through the grill (you'll notice a slight blemish above the R on my plate where I did just this)
I then made it worse by trying to sand it - DON'T as this material is not good for sanding
Drop me an email if you need any more help.
ps bonus points if you remove your OEM grill without breaking any tabs - I did

I'm not doing it
I have an Audi tech that does my work for me and he broke one of the tabs on my oem grill while doing the FMIC install. He said if I buy an aftermarket grill he'd install it free of charge..
