Just fitted an RS4 grill to my puppy, but cant see an easy way of attaching the standard S4 badge to it.
Do I have to glue it?
Cheers

There was an AW write-up which involved using bits of meccano.
I'd fitted mine with cable ties as well, but found that it got loose over time. Got bored having to redo it a few times, so now it's debadged!
I'll get around to it one day...

If you've got the newer one, I can only suggest superglue!

I trimmed the excess plastic off the fixing bits, then used some 'no more nails' exterior stuff - worked a treat

IIRC I trimmed it down to suit and clipped it on. Bobbler should know, he now owns it!!

I'm not going to bother reading the AW articles, so pardon me if it's already been mentioned, but heres another way. Used this twice now, and never failed!
Get the badge, and cut off the excess tabs at the back, so that your basically left with 2 lugs either side. Do this whilst checking it will fit the grille/mesh and place the badge were you want it, i.e. making sure it fits everytime.
Then once you've got 2 suitable lugs, place it where you want it on the grille, and heat up the 2 tabs with a heat gun or something appropriate. Get them hot enough, so you can bend them, i.e. flexible. Then once they're like this....bend them against the grille backing, and quickly place it under cold water, or alternatively keep some water and cloth nearby to do this.
Job done!
