Each to their own of course, but black rings aren't for me (on an RS4, that is... and any others come to think of it....)

Came off no drama,no removal required with my method; I used a thin plastic trim remover tool to get under badge and a very thin blade screwdriver with some tape over the end to protect to lever on the clips.... be very careful not to lever on the outer black bezel or slip and scratch; so below is an alternative but will result in vandalism to snap lugs off to remove; depends if you want to have to go and buy a new badge if you need to go back to silver them at any point.

There was thread I saw somewhere where the clips had been accessed fron the rear and pressed down with screwdriver, I think he said it was fiddly and in the end he just snapped the lugs off from the back and lifted it off;
