I don't believe that, there are Audi's of 2003 with a deep grille.... 2005 Rover collapsed...

The 1st Audi to leave the factory with what they call the "Big" Grille, was the 2005 A8 W12, so there may be some truth to that!

I have read about Audi buying the rights to to gril but can't find it.But you are right about the 2005 a8.Copied and pasted
Audi restyled the D3 platform A8 range slightly in 2005, endowing all variants with a tall and wide so-called single-frame grille inspired that of the Nuvolari concept car. The top-of-the-line 12-cylinder W12 version was the first to be equipped with this grille before it was introduced to less potent A8s. Subsequently, all current Audi models down to the Audi A3 have adopted this controversial styling element.
The premium grill was fitted in 2004 to the 75.

A few pictures of the V8 splitter off the car as promised plus a picture and part number of the elusive part that fits on top of the premium bumper which is available from Lakeland Minis

I'm sure it dosn't matter who had it first. If you want one fit it if you don't well!!! leave it. I think it updates the look of the car well if however if you prefere the original be it Rover or ZT no problem they all look good in my opinion
