Hi everyone
New owner here. Picked up a 2016 Performance in Mythios Black couple of weeks ago. Its standard at the mo, but hoping to maybe mod a bit.

I bought some black Audi rings from the dealer to fit but it seems the front requires grill removal and looking at some online videos that means front bumper removal too!

I have a Carbon 'quattro' surround to fit as well so looks like its playtime.
My question is ...anyone attempted it and any tips tricks hacks for not ballsing it up?

Cheers

You don't need to remove the bumper or grill to change the rings, but if you want to change the grille too then yes it's a bumper off job. I'm sure there are guides online and will be very similar to an A6 bumper removal. Not difficult but a little time consuming; gets quicker the more you do it. I didn't bother with the front one on my RS6, I took it to a garage to do it, but I did the rear a couple of times and did the front on my RS4 which was a similar method.

Thanks Mike
How do you change the rings without the grill off? Its a 66 plate and has a solid plastic bit behind the rings therefore cant get fingers in to release the clips.

Poke a plastic trim removal tool or silimar to release the clips. You can see the location of the clips on the new badge you are trying to fit. Some people break a few tabs removing the okd badge but this isn't a problem unless you intend to use the old rings again. If you do then just take your time and poke them all using a tool rather than just lifting a corner then pulling with all your might.
