Product Description

Give your 2013‑2016 Audi A3 or S3 (8V pre‑facelift) the aggressive RS3 style honeycomb front grille it deserves. The 8V generation introduced sharp, modern lines, but the factory grille‘s horizontal slats lack the menacing presence of the RS3. Our aftermarket upper grille replaces the factory Singleframe grille with a deep, race‑inspired hexagonal honeycomb pattern — the unmistakable aggressive look of the RS3 — instantly elevating your A3 or S3 to RS‑inspired levels of sportiness and prestige.

The RS3 style grille drastically changes the front end of your vehicle and gives it the RS honeycomb look that the more aggressive RS3 has. Unlike cheap, ill‑fitting eBay grilles that crack and fade, our grille is injection‑molded from premium UV‑stabilized ABS polymer – the same durable, impact‑resistant material used in OEM bumpers. The deep gloss black finish is ready to install out of the box, with no painting required. This grille is crafted for all 2013‑2016 A3 and S3 8V pre‑facelift models with S‑line or S3 bumpers. Integrated PDC sensor ports and a front camera mount are available – simply select the correct options at checkout. Lower mesh is not included but is available as an optional add‑on for a complete front end conversion.

⚠️ Important fitment information: This grille fits the 8V pre‑facelift chassis (2013‑2016) Audi A3 and S3 with S‑line or S3 original factory bumpers only. It does NOT fit the standard (non‑S‑line) A3 bumper, as the S‑line and non‑S‑line bumpers have completely different shapes and grilles are not interchangeable. It also does NOT fit the facelift 8V.5 (2017‑2019) or the newer 8Y (2020+). Send us a clear photo of your front bumper if unsure — we will confirm fitment within 2 hours.

5 Key Features

1. Aggressive RS3 Style Full Honeycomb Mesh Design

Give your A3 or S3 the unmistakable front‑end identity of the RS3. This upper grille features a tightly woven hexagonal honeycomb pattern that replaces the factory grille‘s horizontal slats with a bold, race‑inspired aesthetic. The deep gloss black finish creates a striking contrast against any body color, from Glacier White to Mythos Black, and dramatically enhances the sporty character of your 8V A3. Replicates the aggressive RS3‑style honeycomb grille design for the Audi A3, enhancing visual appeal with a high‑performance look.

2. OEM‑Grade Precision Fitment – S‑line / S3 Bumper Only

Our grille is engineered using precise OE‑measurement 3D data of the 8V pre‑facelift S‑line / S3 bumper to ensure a perfect, gap‑free fit. It mounts directly to factory attachment points using the OEM hardware – no modifications, no adhesives required. This grille is for A3 S‑line / S3 bumpers only – standard A3 bumpers have a different grille shape and will not fit. Integrated PDC sensor ports and a front camera mount are available – simply select the correct options at checkout.

3. Premium UV‑Stabilized ABS Polymer Construction

Manufactured from high‑quality, UV‑stabilized ABS plastic – the same durable, impact‑resistant material used in factory bumpers and body panels. The deep gloss black finish is UV‑protected to resist fading, yellowing, and bubbling even after years of sun exposure. The grille is lightweight yet exceptionally strong, with excellent resistance to road debris, stone chips, and temperature extremes. The honeycomb mesh pattern adds an aggressive motorsport look while also improving airflow for better cooling. For customers seeking the ultimate upgrade, a prepreg forged carbon fiber version is also available (custom order).

4. Functional Open Mesh for Enhanced Engine Cooling

The open honeycomb mesh design allows for significantly improved airflow to the radiator and cooling system. This helps keep your engine running cooler – especially beneficial for tuned S3s or hot climate driving. The 8V RS3 style front grille accepts all original electronic components—front camera and parking sensors—keeping all safety and assistance features fully functional when the correct options are selected.

5. Plug‑and‑Play Direct Replacement – Bumper Removal Required

The grille is designed as a straightforward swap for the factory unit using OEM mounting points and hardware. Front bumper removal is required as per genuine Audi replacement procedures – this ensures proper fitment and access to all attachment points. Unlike many aftermarket grilles that use flimsy clips, our RS3 grille for the 8V Audi A3/S3 fits perfectly with factory mounting points.. Professional installation is recommended for those unfamiliar with A3 front‑end disassembly.
