R8 V10 Black Optic Grilles...

[Europrice]

Finally after months of waiting to get hands laid on these they have arrived. These grilles come with a gloss black center, gloss black surround and gloss black EU plate holder (removable).

w/ EU Plate Holder:


w/o EU Plate Holder:


R8 V10 Front Hood Grille (Black Optic, EU Plate Holder) - $859.00 each (Retail - $1059.00)

Fits all R8 V8 and V10 models and matches gloss black lower bumper grilles nicely. If removing the plate holder for the full grille look there are several holes which must be covered as with the standard grilles. The center portion appears to my eye to be a bit more glossy than a standard R8 V10 grille so the current plastic kits that have been offered may not match perfectly. An R8Talk member now is working on getting proper trim pieces made to cover the holes when the plate holder is removed.

Currently 1x additional grille is in stock here in the US. Once this is sold the will ship directly from Europe to your location worldwide and tracking is provided when the items depart.

Thank you,

Also available now are the US versions of the black optic grille. This includes a grille with a US plate holder and one with the plate delete. These are just like the standard V10 grille in that the US plate holder and plate delete span the entire width of the grille and are NOT removable.

R8 V10 Front Hood Grille (Black Optic, US Plate Holder) - $899.00 each (Retail - $1059.00) - 3+ Weeks

R8 V10 Front Hood Grille (Black Optic, Plate Delete) - $859.00 each (Retail - $1059.00) - In Stock

As noted above, the plate delete grille is readily available however the grille with US plate holder is at least 3 weeks out on delivery.

So the "cleaner" look would be that of the euro version I presume? Would you happen to have the part# for the euro black optic grille by chance.

[Europrice]

Well if you wanted to have a grille with no plate holder or bar across it than the Euro version is the only way to go like CALBenzo is doing:



The US versions, US plate holder and plate delete, can't have the plate holder or delete removed, just like on a standard V10 grille.

Alex,
With the euro grill, is the plate holder material the same color/texture so one could cut the "patch pieces" from that to get a perfect match?
Also, is access to any of the holes in the grill needed for installation (ie, can all of the holes be permanently covered)?
Thanks

Surprisingly, it is the same color and texture. At first, I thought the black optic was a darker, glossier black, but it isn't.

None of the holes are needed for installation.

I had your idea in mind previously, but I think it is easier to start with cut sheet plastic, and file them down for fitting. The height of each row differs slightly, and the outer pieces are slightly trapezoidal.

Interesting, thanks for the info!

Can you just spray the normal V10 grill black? Will the paint wear okay?

[Europrice]

From what I have seen the painted grilles do not hold up well. The paint on the chrome surfaces always seems to chip easily while the factory black optic grilles do not show this at all.

Do to a little mix-up with a shop there is a standard V10 chrome grille with European license plate in stock here in the US ready to ship for anyone interested. The plate holder can be removed for this look:



Generally pricing would be the same as the black optic, but since this is just sitting here collecting dust it's getting a little discount:
