In above photo from your post you are missing P/N:- 8K0 807 081 , its the lock carrier cover.

thank you for replying back, i have that cover but on your car if you look at your grille can you see the steel beam or does it have a cover on it??

Sorry mate, just re read your post 1 and saw you removed the lock carrier cover for photo , I'm not a A4 B8 owner.

The only thing that come across my mind looking at parts cat is a foam impact absorber/filler piece which goes between the grille/bumper cover and the metal bumper.

You can see images and exploded diagrams by doing a google image search of 8K0 807 550 .

There are 3 types of the foam impact absorber/filler depending on year of your A4 B8.

Maybe yours was painted black and you didn't notice it as much? I saw a thread once where a guy had replaced his grille and had to paint the bar behind to make it less visible

Perhaps as old one had lost its shininess from age/dirt not show through as much?

thanks alot for your replies maybe it was dirty due to age and i never notices it.
