Came across this recently on eBay from latvia

You might have to remove the centre spigot iirc.

Yes they are now very rare.
Might get one for a spare.
Even though I have 4 ( or 3 ) somewhere and cannot find them.
The VCDS cable eventually turned up.
So hopefully the badges Will miraculously appear and show themselves.

Yeah, but that's only 0.08 of one standard RS6 currency unit.

CAUTION
I tried to contact the seller to find out if these would fit a rs6 c5 steering wheel.
Unable to contact the seller and I have tried many times.
Then read the negative feedback comments.
So I would proceed at your own risk.

Thought this was a nice alternative. I kind of prefer it as the writing is larger and stands out.
I have ordered two badges to see how they fit.
At just over £4.70 each we’ll worth a punt.

Tried to order 4 but it would only allow a maximum of 2.

Seems to be showing as out of stock now, so maybe you simply got the last 2?

You'll soon control the steering wheel badge market! Image

Hi Nick. Problem is they disappear for no apparent reason.
So I have to allow for “spring cleaning”
Surprised that the poosey pipes are still where I put them.

I now try to keep my parts in the car ?

The badges are not as thick as the other type.
As a consequence they sit further down inside the steering wheel.
Could be a good thing as they are less likely to wear from rubbing.

You could always use some double-sided adhesive foam to mount if you wanted it flush.

That’s a good idea Ben
Just wanted to see if they were any good as a alternative.
As the original type are so hard to get hold of.

I will remove this one and put my other one back in.
