Yes! A pleasant surprise.

Jackpot! 😆

So this 240€ piece of plastic known as radar cover just arrived. Only reason for the price I can think of is that it's made of some special material optimized for radar operation. The part number as stated before is 66319500096.

If you look closely on the underside, there should be a stamp of what type of material the plastic is composed of.

It may be something like this:

<ABS/PC>
<PC>

If you can spot the mark, then you/we will know what it's made of .

My guess is that it's made of ABS on the back side and the surface is PC (polycarbonate) so that it can be polished to a high shine).

Thank you for sharing the pictures!

I ordered 51135A79D56. I do not have PAP or DAP.
It looks like I do not have to replace my sensor cover. Please let me know if I am mistaken.

What does your current front grill look like? I believe you've got the correct part, except there are openings for the ACC sensor and parking bumper sensors? Take a look at the big spot on your current grill and if the opening fits and there's no texture or pattern on the existing sensor cover, I think you're good.

my current one looks like this:

The gap on this one is a little wider but the width of the sensor seems to fit the new grill.

It's proving particularly hard to source in the UK. Has anyone ordered one off of ECS tuning, they will ship to the UK but the don't have an image, so it's a bit of a gamble.

I think it will fit!

I‘ve got it today, thank you.

Any idea if I can reuse my licence plate holder?

Any idea if you can reuse the licence Plate holder? I‘ve got the same …D56 Part like you and can‘t imagine the licence plate bracket will fit 1:1…

A close up of the marketing material shows the front license plate holder has cutouts for the new grill grooves:

I'm afraid you'll need to look more closely at the 2025 parts list and perhaps source the correct plate holder (assuming Euro plate but also applies to US front plates).

 

[toosteeley]

Just ask your dealer for a new bracket.

 

[Saltkjelen]

Yes, the licence plate holder is also different.

Not another part

Ah sh*t, here we go again.

 

[northerncalguy]

Ah sh*t, here we go again.

I feel your pain..in the EU you gotta have the plate in the front right?

@ gibee
I actually don't like the new grille and thinking to swap it with a different one, if you can wait a couple of days for me to see it in the flesh, you can have mine...

 

[Matteo]

I'm not promising, I might like it...

 

[J_P]

you can have mine...

I really think you should be starting with forum moderators 😉🤣
