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

I think they just stand out too much, almost look out of place,I have them sat on my bed side table so I can look at the weave

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

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
