Evening all. I'm sure I'm not the only B7 RS4 owner to be suffering from the dreaded peeling RS
Sticker that sits atop one of the plastic covers in the engine bay. Anyone had any success in finding a way to keep it stuck down? Do I need a new one, can it be stuck down, if so what did you use? I've tried a few glues from around the house but to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.

As the part gets hot, most regular sticker glues will go off - dare I say something like superglue or epoxy based ? Just something that's heat resistant.

I have this too, perhaps a spot of Araldite?

I had this and used the slightest bit of modellers Cyanoacrylate 'grip glue'. It's very thin but very high 'stick'. Araldite etc is too think and I'm not sure would leave the cleanest of edges...
The vinyl sar mentions is a good idea - the vinyl adhesive may cure and dry after a while be easy to keep doing it with some spare red...

Red model enamel all the way. I did the same with vinyl too, the enamel shines better

I went with OEM and left it semi-unstuck.

Used double sided tape (the type you get from office supply shops). Worked fine; I didn't remove the
Sticker, just popped a small piece of the tape under the exposed corner.
