DJA-440 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Hi! I had a very small run in with a tow bar and have damaged the front grille on my 2021 A4 Avant Black Edition. It's the honeycomb style one as part of the b9.5 facelift, i think. Photo attached, damage not really visible but if you look at the image it's to the bottom left of the plate. Will erWin give me the info i need, i don't mind buying a couple of course to download as much as i can but thought i'd check first. Thanks in advance! D
Magnet Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Hello Davie, erWin? Although a main dealer part, we take it you don’t want to buy from Audi-? Regards, Gareth.

Hi Gareth, thanks for the reply and sorry for lateness getting back to you. By erWin i mean this site: https://audi.erwin-store.com/erwin/showHome.do I can pay a nominal amount (i think it's something like £8) for an hour then go get the info i need. I think this is more for repair manuals though than part ID but if i have understood i can get the part ID's from that then go and buy it. I am open to buying it from wherever i can really? I have found a few on eBay / <insert random site here> but when going into more detail the quality of the parts or the supplying vendor(s) are less than ideal. I'd love something where i can p[ut in my VIN and it simply returns the car in parts form and i can go hunting. Back in the day when i was in BMW (i know, sorry :)) there was a site called realOEM that did exactly this however i think that got nuked when the manufacturer eventually had enough evidence and clout to kill it. This is the page after loggin in where i can buy flatrate service: We can then see an example of what one of the PDF's might look like; in German for illustration purposes but will come in english, i think...
Sid2020 Posted April 14 Posted April 14 We have problems with grilles and that’s buying direct from Audi as so many variables depending on spec. I can see a front 360 camera and parking sensors so that would be represented in the part number you need, the black bezel may also change the number again. Best just phoning a dealer and ask for a quote with part number. Shouldn’t be a problem for them
Magnet Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Unfortunately Matt, It’s very rare/ does’t happen, that dealers will give you a part number if you are not actually buying the part from them. Exception might be if the part is obsolete.
Sid2020 Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Might be as we’re a trade account that we always get the part numbers when getting price’s, that way when the cars stripped down if the part number on the part is different to what’s quoted we can get updated prices, some Audi front grilles actually list all the possible part number variants on the back of them but not much help unless you know what the differences are
Sid2020 Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Found this quickly on back of a grille, some Have more options and not all have diagrams to help like this
DJA-440 Posted Thursday at 09:50 AM Author Posted Thursday at 09:50 AM Thanks all, i'll have a look through and update.
