Shift paddle extenders + quattro badge

Post by Urbanpixels » Thu Mar 09, 2017 9:37 am

Hi Guys,

Just looking for some information if anybody is able to help. I've tried searching the forum but can't seem to find anything B8 related

I understand the paddles on the B8 are different to others as they are the RS S-Tronic ones (slightly larger than the DSG ones)

I'm struggling to find any what fit the B8's RS4's paddles in the usual places does anybody know where i could find some?

Also im looking at adding the Quattro badge to my grill which can be found on various models, has anybody done this? does the badge fit with the RS's honeycomb grill? Can anybody explain how it fits? as it would be difficult to access the rear of the grill to add clips etc?

This is the badge i'm looking to fit:

Thanks in advance!

Plenty of aftermarket Quattro badges on Ebay. Some of the members of the S1 forum I am a member of have added them to their cars. Fitting seems to be screws or small black cable ties between the letters. They have found quality varies and the silver Quattro paint comes off over time.

You can buy the genuine ones. Newer models seem to have them as graphics on the lower bumper

Thanks, i was looking to get the OEM badge which i've seen on ebay i was just wondering if they'd actually fit to the honeycomb grill.

regarding the shifters, mine already has the larger ones as the picture below, i was just wondering if the larger (f1 style) were available:

My M2 shift levers are a lot larger and more tactile than the RS 2014+ shifters in my RS4

there are plenty of after market extenders for the shorter pre facelift paddles but I'm struggling to find any for the current paddles
