    I doubt it was stolen by anyone who knows what it actually is, https://knife-market.com/ 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.
    The B4 grill with chrome sanding or a second-hand RS2 grille from Tot's is a solid solution. I know it's frustrating, especially with Christmas around the corner.

      I have a spare slightly tatty used one, the mesh is slightly bent and you'd need new clips. Otherwise should be usable. Let me know if interested and I'll take some pics.

        I bought a carbon splitter and rs2 grill from Mareks (MK Garage) two years ago, in fact the picture may be my actual set!

        This photo hopefully shows the fit and finish

        I paid €350 for the pair delivered, quality and fit id say could be better, but they're relative to the price! Also took quite a while for him to make them too, but worth the wait compared to how it makes the car look comnpared to the standard grill!!
        Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris.

            Sal_s2 and Colesy, I’ve sent you both private messages, but I’m not sure if they’ve gone through. Please feel free to send me one as I’m still really struggling to find a grill. Thanks

                I've had a check for this and the spare I have is actually a home made version which came on one of my cars. It does look OK but it's not what you are after. Good luck with the hunt.

                  Thanks for checking! It’s a bummer that it’s not what I need, but I appreciate you offering. Good luck with your hunt!

                      Only 5 years too late. I could have the rings but have sod all to put them on
                      Guess I could buy them to keep in my man cave as a reminder...

                              Thanks so much for everyone’s help trying to get the new grill and bits. I’ve finally managed to source and fit all parts today. It’s felt like a bloody long time!

                                Great result I’m sure you’re well pleased. All’s well that ends well. How do you stop it happening again? is the question.
