Product Description

Transform your 2017‑2019 Audi A3 or S3 (8V.5 facelift) into a head‑turning RS3 replica with our complete RS3 style honeycomb grille kit. The 8V.5 facelift already features sharper headlights and a more aggressive front bumper, but the factory grille’s horizontal slats lack the menacing presence of the RS3. Our complete kit replaces both the upper Singleframe grille and the lower mesh intake 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 grilles are 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 complete kit is crafted for all 2017‑2019 A3 and S3 8V.5 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.

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

5 Key Features

1. Complete Upper + Lower RS3 Style Honeycomb Mesh Kit

Give your A3 or S3 the unmistakable front‑end identity of the RS3. This complete kit includes both the upper honeycomb grille (replacing the factory Singleframe grille) and the matching lower mesh intake (filling the lower bumper opening). The consistent honeycomb pattern across both pieces creates a cohesive, aggressive RS aesthetic that dramatically modernizes the front profile of your 8V.5 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 with Bumper‑Specific Versions

Our grilles are engineered for the 8V.5 facelift A3/S3 using precise OE‑measurement 3D data to ensure a perfect, gap‑free fit. They mount directly to factory attachment points using the OEM hardware – no modifications, no adhesives required. Because the S‑line/S3 and standard A3 bumpers have different shapes, we offer two distinct versions. Choose the correct one at checkout. Integrated PDC sensor ports and a front camera mount are available – simply select the correct options at checkout. Please note that the RS3 style grille is designed to fit the Audi A3, but it does NOT fit the original RS3 model.

3. Premium UV‑Stabilized ABS Polymer Construction with Aggressive Honeycomb Mesh

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 grilles are 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 & Compatibility

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.5 facelink RS3 style front grille accepts all original electronic components—front camera, parking sensors, and washing system—keeping all safety and assistance features fully functional. Integrated PDC sensor ports and front camera mount are available when the correct options are selected.

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

The grilles are designed as a straightforward swap for the factory units 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.5 Audi A3/S3 fits perfectly with factory mounting points. Professional installation is recommended for those unfamiliar with A3 front‑end disassembly.
