Which side should the RS4 boot badge be on?

Post by EssexBoyRacer » Tue Aug 04, 2009 2:51 pm

I've noted that generally X reg and early Y regs have the RS4 badge on the right hand side.

Later ones have them on the left.

Although not a hard and fast rule as I expect some will have been painted and had the badged place on the other side but would this be a resonable indicator for when other small changes were made such as the improved gearbox in the later models?

Im trying to find the cut off date for when the "later" models were made.

I've seen a few examples with the badges on the right. Perhaps they were just moved then! :S

I assumed they all had them on the left?

Its stupid I know but it was the only thing that put me off going to have a look- just the tinyest doubt that if it has had whack and they can't even put the badge on right what else have they missed!

Yep I'd ask questions why it's been moved.

I'm tempted to buy a MRC badge and stick that on the Right!!!

the colour difference between the passenger quarter and rea door would have put me off!! Lol

I find it hard to believe a top of the line body shop would make a silly error with a badge like this, more likely a cheap repair which like u mention what else have they over looked!!

Only takes 30 seconds to google image rear of rs4! :)
