Idk man , silver and chrome are kind of a thing in the past now even car manufacturers are going with less chrom and silver on their front grills. Dont hate on the black rings lol!
The end result looks nice. Thanks for posting the specific year and model you have. I have a 2015 Audi Q5 2.0T myself and am considering replacing the grille.
Finally a great installation tutorial. I have the same grill on my car and I wish I would have the option of paying more for better quality and fitment... My SQ5 is white with black accents but Blue always looked better with silver and maybe red or yellow calipers.
Hey man. Thanks for this video. I have a Q5 and put a black honeycomb grill on it. I’m noticing my parking sensors are not working - did you have any issues with your sensors at all? Some people on the Audi forums are saying it could be the sensor positioning. I’ve triple checked the position and also made sure the sensors were plugged in snug.
Do you find it’s much of a muchness when ordering these parts off eBay? Or do you have a preferred supplier and that one store might stock a better quality item?
I installed the RS5 mesh grille and found this video to be most helpful. The grille looks amazing and I am very pleased with the result. I have noticed a 10% decrease in fuel economy, the cause of which is questionable. My best guess is that the greater air flow is over-cooling the engine oil resulting in increased lubricated component resistance. I saw no reason to reinstall the baffle, but I may do so to determine if it has any impact. Any suggestions?
That does look good. I've been thinking about getting the RS4 style grille for my A4, i like the honeycomb look plus it's an excuse to get rid of my front plate.
I’ve watched several of your videos today and enjoyed every one of them;especially this one since I also plan to install a mesh grill. I put the sports car away until April (I live in PA) so I’ve shifted my focus to the SQ5. It’s a great car which will be made even bette4 with the aid of your videos. Thanks.
IgnitionTube thanks. I actually got the old one off yesterday and new one partial on. Just have to transfer over the sensors. Did u spray paint the crash bar or hand paint it? U ever what kind of paint you used?
Thanks. Gonna pick that up tomorrow. I have the grill on. I bought a different model. The Audi rings were separated. So I installed the black logo but it’s looks cheap bc they gave me silver screws. Gonna Buy black.
Where did you put the parking sensors? In the grill or homelink? I did the same thing. I left that in behind the grill. Doesn’t bother me and can’t notice it. What did u use to install the sensors? It came with little inserts for them. But they don’t fit naturally anywhere. What do u recommend? Do u have an IG or FB? I’d like to send u pics for advice if that’s cool.
Had the rs4 grill on both my a4 and now my s4. First time I came across the front parking sensors was the s4. I also left the homelink part of the bumper screwed at the top and managed to run the sensor wire behind that as it sits pretty high! What have you done with the grille sensors...? Love the videos man. Also keep watching the s4 videos over and over and over again 😂 it gives me inspiration and drive building my s4 so thank you 🙏
IgnitionTube ahh man , ok! I do apologize , I had 4 sensors on the s4 and 2 were in the grille! Assumed it was the same! The grille is a must have mod in my eyes 🤗 looks fantastic
"Black Badges should be a crime, no one should ever do them on their cars" Spread love and positivety lol. Actually removing them all together should be a crime ; )
Where did you buy it? I can’t find one with the Quattro.
Idk man , silver and chrome are kind of a thing in the past now even car manufacturers are going with less chrom and silver on their front grills. Dont hate on the black rings lol!
Agree 100%
Hey man I know your GTI is long gone, but I bought my MK5 because of watching your GTI series! keep up the great content 👍
same!
I realize I'm quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Huxley Kylo Ehh I use Flixportal. Just search on google after it :P -zayn
@Zayn Archer Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it !
@Huxley Kylo Glad I could help xD
Congratulations, dad!
Looks great. I'm looking to do mine as well but looking for a trustworthy vendor. May I asked where you got yours?
I like the new design. Thanks for sharing the video. I recently started looking for an upgrade. Please share the link to get the grille.
where can I buy a audi honeycomb grill for my 2015 sq5????? I bought one and had to send it back, did not fit!!!! HELP
Where did you got the grill?
After replacing the grill did you had any problem with parking assist/sensor reverse camera not working?
The end result looks nice. Thanks for posting the specific year and model you have. I have a 2015 Audi Q5 2.0T myself and am considering replacing the grille.
any chance you remember where you bought this grill? Can't find any with Quattro badging. Thanks!
I like the black badges for my car. But I think the chrome looks better on that blue of your car.
Do you have a link to where you can buy the grill
I just got a 2014 S4 today and your videos seriously helped me to make the decision.
Car is looking good man!. Where did u get your RS grill?. I want to change my Q5 to RS. Thanks
Finally a great installation tutorial. I have the same grill on my car and I wish I would have the option of paying more for better quality and fitment... My SQ5 is white with black accents but Blue always looked better with silver and maybe red or yellow calipers.
Post the link in description for the grille :)
It’s just on eBay haha
Where did you find the black honeycomb grill for the sq5 that says quattro
Did you watch the video? Lmao
Can you explain how exactly you used a dremel to cut those holes out? 😬😬 about to do mine but don’t want to ruin it lol
I have a question, what do those 2 harnesses hanging in front of the radiator connect to
Do you happen to have any parts laying around from this build?
Nope, it’s been gone for ~2 years
Just switched from a M5 to a sq5 where can I get this grill brotha!!!
eBay, I said it in the video
Hey man. Thanks for this video. I have a Q5 and put a black honeycomb grill on it.
I’m noticing my parking sensors are not working - did you have any issues with your sensors at all? Some people on the Audi forums are saying it could be the sensor positioning. I’ve triple checked the position and also made sure the sensors were plugged in snug.
I had my grill installed yesterday but now the backup camera does not turn on. And my sensor button flashes. Did you have that issue also?
Same... just did mine and all of
My sensor option and driving assist are no longer
Hey guys put the sensors in the same place . The original sensor was .
Do you have a link for the grill mate?
Just bought my fiancé an sq5 yesterday look forward to following some of your footsteps to give it some flavor!
How did you lift the car to put it on jacks, where was your lift point?
What are you going to do with the original grill? I might be interested. Thanks.
Hi, wo hast du den Grill bestellt, hast du ein Link? LG Aus Deutschland
Do you find it’s much of a muchness when ordering these parts off eBay? Or do you have a preferred supplier and that one store might stock a better quality item?
Meh, it’s all the same stuff lol

So what was the cause?
@@HectorColon45 I traded the car before I had a chance to figure it out.
Do your parking sensors still work after the grill is installed?
You're wrong about the black badges.
What about the license plate do you still need to have one if you don’t have a spot to put it on the bumper?
Looks great
I do need to have it but probably won’t run it lol
@@IgnitionTube You will have to put it back to pass state inspection though.
Hi I am a newbie to your channel and have an Audi Q5 3.0 V6 do you have a link for the grill
have you still got the SQ5 ?
Does it fit with Audi Q5 2012?
Looks dope bro how do you dremol that
you dont want parking sensors??
Where can I get this RS grill?
Dude love your video, if you don't mind me asking, how much do you pay for your Audi SQ5
$4 plus 3 cows, 2 goats, my soul, and my next door neighbor’s 1992 Honda Civic
Do you have the all grille for sale ? thanks
That does look good. I've been thinking about getting the RS4 style grille for my A4, i like the honeycomb look plus it's an excuse to get rid of my front plate.
Audi Life did you do it just bought one on Friday and was wondering how difficult to instal

Would this work on a 2012 q5
Can I purchase your original for my SQ5 please sir
nice job. Those grilles should've matched to begin with. Looks tight
you live in MA you HAVE to have a front plate..Which makes that grill look stupid.
matt chrome mirror caps next :)
Black badges > silver badges all day every day sir.
Wrong incorrect false fake untrue
Black badges are tuff
Looks soooo much better!!
Great vid!! can you post the link for the vendor website?
eBay lol
I tried a few from Ebay and they don't fit. I was hoping for a specific vendor if you have.
Change to black rings, it will look nicer.😃
Should invest in some Milwaukee power tools. I got the impact and the ratchet. its changed my life lol. The electric ratchet saves so much time.
Is the same for a 2016 Q5 premium?
Likely!
IgnitionTube thanks. I actually got the old one off yesterday and new one partial on. Just have to transfer over the sensors. Did u spray paint the crash bar or hand paint it? U ever what kind of paint you used?
@@Lilgus84 spray paint with just regular matte black paint, then plastidip over the top of the spray paint to prevent chipping from rocks.
Thanks. Gonna pick that up tomorrow. I have the grill on. I bought a different model. The Audi rings were separated. So I installed the black logo but it’s looks cheap bc they gave me silver screws. Gonna Buy black.

That looks bad ass! I dig it.
link to buy this grill.
eBay.com
Again, feeling attacked by the things you say. I have black badges on the S5 haha
Had the rs4 grill on both my a4 and now my s4. First time I came across the front parking sensors was the s4. I also left the homelink part of the bumper screwed at the top and managed to run the sensor wire behind that as it sits pretty high! What have you done with the grille sensors...?
Love the videos man. Also keep watching the s4 videos over and over and over again 😂 it gives me inspiration and drive building my s4 so thank you 🙏
Check the video - I don’t have grille sensors. They’re built into the bumper
IgnitionTube ahh man , ok! I do apologize , I had 4 sensors on the s4 and 2 were in the grille! Assumed it was the same! The grille is a must have mod in my eyes 🤗 looks fantastic
Bruh is gatekeeping the exact link. Duh you got it from eBay but there’s 1000 options so doesn’t help
It’s not on eBay anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you so much for this video!!’
Looks awesome!! I really like the Quattro lettering 👍😎
I feel like with all that effort, the black optics grill is the better option. Still looks great though 👍
Yeah for most people I think it makes more sense to not do the RS grille. Def not just bolt in like on the S4
Looks really nice!
Looks good man!!
Looks awesome
wheels next
Low first!
@@IgnitionTube ok cool man
Link for the grill please! Where are you buying these from?
eBay, as said in the video haha
fstdirect? Some of these sellers on eBay sell some cheap grills, that is why I was asking. @@IgnitionTube
She looks great bro 👍🏽
Looks better with black badges imo tho.
Meh I disagree - but when you do yours I have black rings to give ya! Lol
Ive been waiting for this vid!
I really appreciate you skipping how to release the clips on the original grill
Wow. Excellent 👌🏻
Pls give me the old one. The new one looks stupid bro!
Looks good 🤝
"Black Badges should be a crime, no one should ever do them on their cars" Spread love and positivety lol. Actually removing them all together should be a crime ; )
All the ppl who talk shit ab the SQ5 have never driven one
This made me not care as much about getting an RS Grille.
I really like the black Audi batch :)
To each their own!
@@IgnitionTube Yes thats true:) But the new grille locks very good on your SQ5👌🏻
Any one want to join audi Facebook group
AUDI NYC BUIL SQ5/Q5
I respectfully disagree, black badges look great. =)
I hope no one describes me as “great from 3 feet away”
My mom says that about me :/
Silver rings look awful.
Wrong
IgnitionTube agreed chrome rings are just wrong.
Supaswol Audi’s are supposed to have silver rings 😂
I have to agree to some extent, it depends on color.
If it was a black car maybe but bro blue-silver is such a sexy colour combo
you lost me at saying no one should do black badges.
Can u cut the first 2min of crap ? Thx
That’s how I keep the channel going!
I black out my badges, but my car is white lol.
Damn that's nasty
You ruined the nice car by spending a lot of your time and money. What's the point ?
Why did he ruin it? He did that because his own joy, and you can't go and accuse people of stuff they like!
each to their own, i presonally like black rings on certain colours, what should be a crime though is that awful quattro logo on the grille
Looks too much like a gaping mouth without the Quattro logo
This is my favorite part.
If black logo's are criminal than debadging deserves the death penalty!
Wrong!!!
Hi ur cute
Where did you buy the grill from
