Product Description

Give your 2017‑2019 Audi A3 or S3 (8V.5 facelift) the ultimate RS3‑inspired front grille upgrade – now in a stunning carbon fiber finish. The factory grille’s horizontal slats look dated; our aftermarket upper grille replaces it with a deep, race‑inspired hexagonal honeycomb pattern, finished in authentic carbon fiber texture. Whether you choose our premium forged dry carbon or the high‑gloss carbon‑look ABS, the result is a lightweight, aggressive, motorsport look that instantaneously elevates your A3 or S3 to RS‑inspired levels of sportiness and prestige.

The carbon fiber RS3 style grille drastically changes the front end of your vehicle and gives it the RS honeycomb look that the more aggressive RS3 has, while adding a premium, exotic touch. Unlike cheap, ill‑fitting eBay grilles that crack and fade, our grilles are injection‑molded from premium UV‑stabilized ABS polymer (or autoclave‑cured real carbon). The deep gloss carbon finish is ready to install out of the box, with no painting required. 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 RS3 style grille fits the 8V.5 facelift chassis (2017‑2019) Audi A3 with S‑line bumper and S3 only. It does NOT fit standard (non‑S‑line) A3 bumpers – the shape is completely different. Send us a clear photo of your front bumper if unsure – we will confirm fitment within 2 hours.

5 Key Features

1. Authentic Carbon Fiber Finish – Real or Look

Choose between genuine prepreg dry carbon fiber (autoclave‑cured, full carbon construction) for the ultimate lightweight upgrade, or our high‑gloss carbon fiber look ABS for a durable, cost‑effective option that perfectly mimics the carbon weave. Both versions deliver the aggressive RS3 honeycomb mesh design with a premium carbon aesthetic that sets your A3 apart.

2. 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 slats with a bold, race‑inspired look. The carbon finish creates a striking contrast against any body color and dramatically enhances the sporty character of your 8V.5 A3. The lightweight carbon fiber material (real or look) reduces overall weight while adding a motorsport edge.

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

Our grille is engineered using precise OE‑measurement 3D data of the 8V.5 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 front camera mount are available – select the correct options at checkout.

4. Functional Open Mesh & Enhanced Cooling

The open honeycomb mesh design allows for significantly improved airflow to the radiator and cooling system. The carbon fiber material (real or look) provides excellent resistance to heat and UV rays. Upgrading to a honeycomb grille optimizes cooling efficiency by improving air circulation to the radiator, helping keep your engine running cooler – especially beneficial for tuned S3s or hot climate driving.

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.. Professional installation is recommended for those unfamiliar with A3 front‑end disassembly.
