another_clean_sheet Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 What is the reason for the presence of mesh grilles on Gen 1 cars? Are all of these mesh grilles aftermarket? While personal choice may vary, it is worth considering the prevailing opinion: is mesh generally chosen for its aesthetic appeal, or is the plastic slat form more often favoured? Thank you.

DenishP4 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 All mesh is non-original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickoyster4 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Audi did not produce a mesh RS-style grille for the first generation. There are several aftermarket models available, all of them are manufactured in China. Nonetheless, we manufacture an RS-style mesh grille using the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Gen 1 grilles. Many buyers on this forum have purchased hundreds of items. The quality of this version is far superior than the Chinese one, however it comes at a higher price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAVITEL Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Take a moment to observe a factory grill and admire its horizontal lines, particularly the striking boldness of the horizontal bumper. Without it, the anterior portion of the vehicle seems fragmented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabbasi Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Undoubtedly, the facelift made it even more striking in that regard. The lines on the grille align seamlessly with the air intake fins and headlamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnmayerrr Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 While I can see the attractiveness of the mesh grille, I personally like the traditional aesthetic. I was dissatisfied with the unimpressive licence plate holder positioned in the centre, hence I chose to get a Euro grille from R8-Stuff. My vehicle is black, and the silver grille in the centre of the black colour scheme looks aesthetically pleasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
