Mesh with Success: In.Pro's Audi A6 grill
Some love it, others hate it, but everyone must concede that the dominant deep grill that has formed Audi's new corporate image is a distinctive styling feature. In.Pro takes the look a step further with its emblem-less mesh grill that gives the A6 an even bolder front fascia.
The look of In.Pro's aftermarket grill is thoroughly modern, but draws its inspiration from the Auto Union race cars that dominated competition in the 1930's.
Beyond imbuing your Audi with extra style, the stainless-steel grill also conducts more cool air into the engine bay than the standard one. The diamond-pattern mesh forms a strong and durable shape with a chrome frame and installs real easy-like.
We'll take ours on the front of a V10 Gallardo-powered S6, thank you very much.

I dont care if it pays homage or draws inspiration from old Auto Union race cars, its ugly. Its no different from those damn faux "Bentley" 300C grilles. I guess the only good part about it is that it actually keeps the engine cooler...

I could care less what the grille looks like, get some damn TDI's over here to the USA please.
Oh, and drop a thousand pounds of weight off the TT roadster while you are at it.
Thanks!

I seriously doubt it will keep the motor cooler. That is a function of the surface area of the radiator, not the grill.
Also, it's looks absolutely hideous. I guess if you wanna put 26" rims on your new Audi, you better pimp the grill too.

That grille looks awful.
And this post sounds an awful lot like an ad.

Audi is grossly over-represented/commercialized here in comparison to their sales and interest in the marketplace.

Looks bad. And wouldn't more front opening allow more rain water in?

Not the best, and also I doubt that Audi didn't provide the A6 with sufficient cooling.

God, thats really ugly.
The large front nose has grown on me - but this one is just too much.
And no, I've looked at the old AutoUnion cars on display at the Audi MuseumMobile in Ingolstadt, and this really doesn't bring those gorgeous classic cars to mind. The big nose was first seen (although, with a smaller top and wider bottom) on their Rosemeyer concept. The Nuvalari has this big nose, as did the shooting brake. Those cars could pull it off imho, but this giant silver mesh just takes all the focus away from the car and its lines.
