You can just clean it real good and re-spray with satin black (or semi-gloss)
black paint.  I prefer it black because it accentuates the Audi rings and
just plain looks "right".  Also, the grill takes its fair share of road
debris and a body-color grill probably won't look very good after a while.
Be careful taking out the Audi rings emblem, chances are you'd break the
mounting pegs.  Maybe it's best to just mask the rings on the grill for
painting instead of taking it off.
