Replacing the grille on a B7
 

Has anyone here changed out their front grille on a 2007 A4? I'm looking for some helpful hints in swapping this out... as to me it looks like the only way this will work is to take the entire front outter shell off the car :???:

two easy steps grab n pull just excersize some caution you CAN break something if its cold out . install is opposite grab and push, there are three tabs that hold it in place.

There are actually about 10 or 12 screws that hold mine in from the back (torx screws to be exact)... Looks like the only way this thing will come out is to remove the front bumper molding...

I'll take some pictures when i find the time to actually take the bumper skin off the front...
I asked at my dealership if there was an easier way and he told me NO - the skin has to come off... anyhow found another Audi thread on another forum that talks about this as well... 07 S4 front grill removal - stumped!
I could understand screws from the front - but mounting the grille from the back is just plain stupid for service planning...

Got a PM this morning from a guy in California with the following link.
I thought i'd post the link here in case anyone else needed them.
