Sport Wheels offers unfortunate rhinoplasty for your Audi
Sport Wheels grilles for Audis -- Click above for high-res image gallery
Sport Wheels presents its latest aftermarket accessory as "an interesting alternative to the standard grille." In this case, we can give the company a gold star for truth in advertising. The range of offerings spans the Audi model line from A3 (pictured) to Q7, with only difference being the addition of vertical elements in vehicles with larger grilles. Well, that and an increased resemblance to animals described by the word "baleen."
The grilles start at €530 ($756 U.S.) and go up to €630 ($899 U.S.), and then you can add another €250 ($357 U.S.) for mounting if you don't want to touch the grille yourself. If, for some reason, you want the grille to match your car's finish, that'll be another €150 ($214 U.S.). Which is a lot of money to make your car look like this, but hey, it's your money.

I don't know what you're talking about... these grills look sweet! Not to mention the obvious aero benefits. It would probably increase airflow to the radiator as well. Very smart design and I think Audi should consider impleme....ok I can't continue. These things are insulting. I think if I ever see one of these on the road I'm going to perform a pit maneuver and see to it that the grill meets a concrete barrier.

Not sure whether I hate the grille or the LED accent lighting more.

"no, not 'oh', it is 'OOOH!', as in surprise and alarm!"
That deserves to be lampooned by Monty Python.

Seriously, who would buy this crap. I can see these in the clearance section at Pep Boys soon.
I guess Clarkson was right, Audis are the new cock-mobiles. They'll be competing with 300 drivers for most ridiculous grilles and sooner or later we'll start seeing these combined with stick on side vents.
