Default 2018 SQ5 RS Bumper build

Hey Gang,

figured you’d guys like to take a look at this cosmetic facelift I did to my SQ5. Custom bumper, grill and fog lamps.

That looks sweet! My wife has been bugging me about getting a body kit for hers.

Looks great. Where did you buy the grill? My sq5 grill just cracked after a projectile road debris incident and I have been meaning to replace with an RS style grill anyway, but not sure about the quality of the options out there...

I got one quite similar to the pics off of Alibaba. Fit/finish was bang on with only some minor messing around for the front facing grill camera.

There is a thread on this forum that talks about the replacement grills (sorry, the link is eluding me right now... ) I did a walk through on what it took to swap it out.

Love the RS look, but it was a bit of a PITA to install on an Audi. Other brands, the grill is installed outside in. On an Audi, it's inside out so you have to pull the full front clip off to remove the grill from the inside. Was it worth it? YUP! Would I want to do it again, not sure.

Reviving this post a bit...love the look of that RS bumper (and considering getting back into a SQ5). Could you share where you purchased/cost?

Thanks!
