Hiya mate,
Congrats on the S3, cracking car and i'm already jealous lol! [

To replace your damaged grill it's gonna have to be a front bumper off job, fairly easy to do tbh as it's just removal of all the fixing screws and a bit of a wiggle to remove the bumper assemby...
Then you have to remove the grill itself by prising the securing clips apart, there is quite a few of them and a tip another member has given is to use half a dozen cutlery knives or similiar to prise apart a few clips at a time and work your way round..
Once the grill is removed, just reverse the process to fit the new one, i'd give some thought to taking the oppurtunity to replace the standard grey/chrome grill with the black/black one from the optics pack, looks great imo! [Y]
Bits can be had from ebay and the usual places like vagparts etc, although the black grill assembly can be had from an Audi dealer for £109, pretty reasonable imo...
HTH
