Debadged S4.... can I fit alternatives to front grille clip?

Post by Gekko » Mon Jun 12, 2006 3:18 pm

Having completely debadged my S4, it looks cool and stealthy. Apart from the front grille-clip on which the S4 logo used to be... now it looks like it got nicked or fell off! The clip is actually part of the grille and can't be removed. Just wondered whether other badges could be clipped on instead eg. S-Line or Quattro? Rung the salesman whom I bought it from & he wasn't sure... he was suggesting cutting the clip out altogether with a Stanley knife!? :shock: :lol:

Any ideas?

Dont cut it!!!!

Go along to your dealer and speak with the parts guy, he may have some badges in stock that you can try

Hi Gekko - hope you are enjoying the S4...I know its no RS4 but hopefully it will be a wise choice for you :D Had mine just over a week now and keep on finding myself going out for ever longer drives at lunchtime (just went 3 junctions down the motorway to pick up a sandwhich).

Its not a completly dumb idea to cut the clip facia...something like a Dremmel tool and some fine sandpaper may do the trick. Personally, I would rather have nothing that something that was not right.

Just wondered if this got resolved, looking into debadged the S4 (when I find the right one) body coding the mirrors too and my idea is to replace the s4 badge on the grille with a quattro one.

Want it to look nice and clean and a little more stealthy and less obviously an S4 but that's a whole other post, sorry for hi-jacking this post I know it's an old one just thought some of you guys maybe able to help

thanks guys
