Black Out Front Filler Panel

I have an S5 with the gray front filler panel on my Phantom Black car and wanted to paint the panel black.

Does everyone just take it to a body shop and have them match the paint? I just hate how the panel is gray because it looks very out of place.

What have you done? Looking at your pic it seems that panel is black...?

Ecstuning.com doesn't have anything I could find.

The only OEM black grill option is off of the A5. GMG has one on their car, but I believe it's painted...

the a5 grille fits in teh s5 (no s-line non-sline issue) so you could theoretically replace your entire s5 grey grille with the black a5 grille.

Ok, that would work well then. However, what about the front filler panel where the license plate is supposed to go? Is the A5 version black as well?

Thanks! I found this: http://www.madaudidesign.com/site/model_a5.htm but it has an opening for a license plate which I don't want. Just want everything to be flush without the license plate mess... I guess I would have to buy a black filler to go in there??
