Many of you have requested a DIY for removing the grille, so here it is..

Remove the clips and bolts as shown in the picture with red circles. Use a 10mm socket and a flat head.




Use the flathead to insert it underneath the top of the clip and push down so the head of the flathead goes up as shown in the picture.


This is where it gets tricky, now put a finger or two in the indicated top red circle to get a grip on the cover, and use the other hand to pull the top of bumper towards you (the bottom red circle), and also pull the radiator cover (where the red circle is) up and away from you.


Once the radiator cover is removed, there is going to be some wires connected underneath the radiator cover, if you wish to have more room, declip them from the radiator cover. The wire is shown by the arrows pointing to it.


Once the radiator cover is out of the way, there is TWO screws on each side of inner-grille as well as one screw in the middle. Use a 10mm socket to remove it.




*Optional*
This is for you who want to remove the emblem ONLY.
Just simply squeeze the indicated red clips inward and the emblem should pop out.


Finally, squeeze the top clips (circled in red) downwards, and squeze the bottom clips (circled in red), upwards, so the grille becomes loose.


To put it back together, just follow this in reverse. Hope this helps everyone! PM me with any additional questions!

What type of paint are you all using, I did my Audi A4 grill with Plasti-dip. Anyone using Plasti-dip on the grills?

 

Easier way? This took me all but 10 minutes. Sorry for dirty engine bay, I was gonna wait till tomorrow so I can wash the G.
