Supercharged Badges
What's the feeling from folk on here re these badges? I've seen a lot of owners in the US adding them to their wings instead of the V6T badges. I'm in two minds about them - in between tacky and something different.
Strange that Audi put a T on the wing as opposed to an S for supercharger!

Re: Supercharged Badges
My concern is that they look like they fade/flake over time.

Re: Supercharged Badges
I tend to agree they're erring on tacky.
In terms of flaking I believe they're actually Audi OEM badges, US only.

Re: Supercharged Badges
Not for me i prefer the stealth look{no badges},the best way to remove the badges is using dental floss to cut through the double sided tape they are attached with and then clean the residue with cellulose thinners.xxx_mojo_xxx wrote:Cheers, are you going for them then?

Re: Supercharged Badges
Thanks 
Re: Supercharged Badges
I actually removed the V6T badges and put those OEM ones back on. I am lead to believe that the early UK cars (plus most of the US I think) had these on initially. Then Audi changed their naming convensions to be consistent, ie: TFSI, TDI, V6T, V8T etc etc. Red Supercharged didn't fit. However, I thought they looked nice and put them back.
In terms of stealth, come on chaps, how much more stealthy can an S4 be? It looks identical to any of the TDI S-Lines that fill most of the company carparks in the Thames Valley and I nearly tried to unlock another blokes car than was parked 2 away from mine in the Membury services a while back. Same Black Edition setup, same wheels, same colour, just making 200bhp less and burning miserable chip-fat instead of V-Power. That's stealthy enough for me....

Re: Supercharged Badges
The red supercharged badges look like S line badges from a distance,no badges adds to the stealth.
