Default Poll: Partial debadging

Didn't want to debadge all the way since I don't want to have people guessing whether it's an A4 or not so I wanted to get your opinion. Should I

Default I would leave all badges on. First, I'm pretty proud of having a tiny 1.8 liter engine

that can hand a whooping to a good number of cars on the road. Second, just leaving one of the "A4" or "1.8T" badges doesn't look right. Third, I wouldn't want the appearance of trying to pass my A4 off as an S4. Yes, you wouldn't have S4 badges, lowers, and bumper, but that's too close for my comfort.

leave rings and quattro, I think that looks best, not too unbalanced.
