RS2 bonnet grill

[Texcotzingo]

Hi, someone has stolen the bonnet grill on my RS2. Does anybody have a spare they'd be willing to sell, or know of anywhere I might be able to get another? Thanks

Is it the same dimensions as the S2 grill?

[Texcotzingo]

I think the dimensions are the same, but the grid pattern is different on the RS2

Tots has a couple

That's bloody awful to see. I hope are able to secure your car as the thieving rats might come back for other difficult to find and expensive to replace parts.

edit: I just noticed the residents parking sign above.

That's a bloody PITA! I doubt the little sod's even know what they've nicked, probably saw the RS2 badge and mesh grill and thought it looked cool, hence valuable. A stock grill can be fitted in it's place in the meantime, but that's not the point.

Though I have to say as a fellow RS2 owner that the grill is possibly the worst thing Porsche has ever designed, the hole in the mesh for the bonnet catch looks like an afterthought and the clips that hold it on are an awful design.

Sorry to hear.
some people suck.

I’ve found MK Garage in Latvia making replica versions of them. Has anyone had any dealings with them, or any thoughts on them based on the photos? (The one on the cardboard is fibreglass and the one on the grass is carbon fibre). Any input would be greatly appreciated

Looks like cool wheels products tbh. They never had the best reviews.

Unfortunately most RS2 parts are very expensive and hence attractive to wrong uns

Some people have little to be at. Keep an eye out for one up for sale you might get your own back.

Kamei do an “RS2 look” one which is not too bad.

I had a Kamei one age's ago for my first Audi Coupe, they fit well and look pretty good but the proper RS2 item does look better even though it's a bit of a faff to fit unless you're lucky enough to have spare clips.

I doubt it was stolen by anyone who knows what it actually is, there's only around 100 original RHD RS2's left in this country and anyone under 40 will probably have no idea what they're looking at.

Sadly my guess is a junky saw something shiny and potentially valuable which could get them £20 quickly and ripped it off, though I'd keep an eye out for any local dodgy types driving a B3/4 Audi wearing a slightly bent RS2 grill.

I ended up making my own version of an RS2 grill for my Coupe using the surround from a damaged RS2 grill and the mesh cut out of my old Kamei copy which with the bonnet closed looked genuine.

If it were me I'd either fit a stock B4 grill with the fake chrome removed by sanding for now, or the best option is to source a genuine one second hand from Tot's if they'll post to the UK.

Not what one needs right before the expense of Christmas.
