Hmm, very subjective that. Personally, I like my RS4 badges on my car but the black contrast on the white really makes them stand out. I'm not so sure how effective they would be on a blue car.

I've since removed the front Rs badge, I think it's better just plain

I fitted the rear Audi rings and badges in carbon, however wasn't keen how the rings just stand out on the boot lid,so I removed them, I'm thinking black rings and badges look good on revolutions car!! So why not on yours

My opinion is black rear badges on a Sepang car don't work.

You'd be better de-badging it if anything but I'd like to see more pics of a blue one de-badged though.


RIV I think black badges on your's look great, I'd certainly be fitting the black rings too as it all ties in with your wheels etc :thumbs:

I think the black looks good on solid or monochrome colours. I think It would look OK on a Nogaro car but not so much on Sepang. I think de-badged is a good look......mmmmm job for the weekend maybe. How much are OEM replacement badges? A bit of fishing line and patience is required for the removal.

I am just putting back on mine on my car and have ordered the bits from Audi. Strangely enough all the badges are the same price at something like £22.99 regardless of whether it is the rings or model ones.

I ordered the small badge set from argon, then removed my old badge and lettering from the black plastic base, and replaced with the carbon ones, then removed them as I didn't think it worked :bash:

Don't think it's hard to do,you have to remove the top plastic cover over the front grill,and from what I've seen the rings are fixed on with star fixings, I didn't do mine as the body shop fitted mine while i was in having the mirrors sprayed
