A8 Front license plate-filler grill panel
I will need to mount a front license plate and I can't quite figure out what item I need to do this.
The car I just bought was to have this item---
6W9 FRONT LICENSE PLATE - FILLER GRILLE PANEL
However, upon returning home (bot the car in Houston--and I live in St Louis)--I discovered it wasn't there. However, the Houston dealer has ordered one and is shipping it to me for arrival next week
Is this going to be my solution? (mount the license plate onto it?)---or will I need yet another plate "holder" item (to mount to the filler panel)
I'm not sure exactly what this filler panel even is, frankly
any input appreciated
thanks
Dave

Front license plate holder (for states that require front license plates) 6W3
What you will receive is just a backing, that goes between the grill and the license. My guess is you'll probably also need a license plate frame as well, which I'm sure the dealer would be happy to provide for free.

so the item I'm receiving is worthless to me?
(and I should try to get them to not send this item and send the 6W3 instead?
I was thinking the 6W9 plate was going to span the entire grill and then the license plate would mount in the center of that---but not so?

I have a new 2015 A6 on order, and this time I specified that I want it WITHOUT the license holder (my state doesn't require front license plates).
But good luck with your situation.

I didn't like the look so I bought this to cover it up.

I'm not that in love with the massive front chrome grill on the A8--I was hoping this filler plate would be painted black and break up the mass of it---but I think I figured wrong---
Wonder what would? (and the license plate "floating" in the middle of the grill does look stupid IMO)--but I am thinking that is what it will need to be for me?

This is how my car looked coming straight from the dealer.

Now I have that big beautiful grill up front.

6W9 is a 'delete' option on D4, there should be no actual part associated with it.
A8 is not designed to have a filler, it's got 3 options:
Exactly. As does the Euro frame.
Euro frame is not orderable through a US dealer.

Then I wish the sales guy who had originally quoted the various options and packages included on the car hadn't included this one---it just confused the whole thing (when I realized I didn't have it once I got home)
no big deal
