Default A4 Allroad part swaps

Hey all! I have a 2020 A4 Allroad and I want to make it more similar to the European avant version. Basically I’m curious if some of these parts will fit my car.

These rails:

this grille:

also taking any recommendations for things to swap!

I think the RS 4 grill is designed for a different bumper cover, so it is unlikely to fit. Perhaps a friend in Europe can take some quick measurements to confirm?

OEM RS grill won't fit that is correct.

Only one that fits decent is German Car Accessories irrc the name right...

Oh forgot to mention, I do know someone who did the Euro rails. 100% dooable, but it does require dropping the entire headliner to change them out.

I seem to recall our B8 2015 had flush roof rails. Not awful but the functionality was not as good as the B9 that is a bit more raised.
TB9's have more rail to bite into where the B8 I was never as confident using.

The rails on the allroad are raised, the rails on the avant are flush, for B8 and B9. Part of the style difference between the two variants. Otherwise, the roof is the same.
