Advice on replacing stock front grille with aftermarket grille

[Will A3]

Does anyone know how to change the stock front grille on an Audi A3 8P 3DR 11” Plate to an aftermarket S3/RS3 front grille.

I’ve heard that it’s a right faff around so i’m deciding on whether it’s worth getting it done at a garage or doing it myself.

Cheers in advance.

Yep it's a faff. The bumper has to come off for you to replace the grill I believe band you have to get at some of it by removing the wheels and wheel arch liners. 

I also believe the rs6 grill from the same era fits too. 

Cheers
