Tomorrow, after 359 days of waiting - actually, less than a year!!! - I will receive my Q4 40 Advanced in Typhoon Grey.

I really like the car but the front grill... It is grey and it looks like cheap plastic.

I would like to know your opinion about painting the grill in dark grey like the picture of the Q4 concept you see below. Not only in aesthetic terms but technically.

I have consulted an independent service and they have told me that it is possible. The price is reasonable compared to the cost of exchanging the grill for a new original in dark gray

You could have ordered the "black optics" pack which is exactly what I did. On some markets a "black optics plus" pack is also available which I find a bit too much for my taste.
Though just like you I thought to not pay for the black optics and later have the parts I choose painted at a car-paint shop. That idea did not stick long enough because I'd prefer no one to mess around parts that have sensors attached on them.
Thank you for answering.
I would never accept an painting job on the assembled part.
I think the Q4 front grill -done by a professional car-paint shop- doesn't seem to be very difficult to disassemble. Center camera and radar keep untoched.
I must think what to do. Of course, it is not possible to reconsider the order at the moment.
You can find the part in ebay. The price is really high. I guess even more expensive in Audi.
