Installed Black e-tron Badge

Now the question is what to do with the quattro badge. Leave it as is, remove it, or replace with an all black one. A black one with orange border is not available.

I'd vote for the black. Having the etron in orange border won't seem out of place [it emphasizes the electric], but the Quattro and the 4 rings in silver now look out of place. Although I already have black badging to complement the Black Optic package on my won't-be-here-soon-enough GT, I am thinking seriously of partial de-badging, and only leaving the 4 rings front and back in black.

I hate the black rings on a black or near-black car. Why do people want to do that?? PLEASE: don't answer me. That was totally rhetorical.

I can't answer because I agree with you

. For the same reason I really don't want an all black quattro badge but I feel it may be better than the silver one.

Yeah,,,I think remove the Quatro badge. It just looks mismatched. The Audi rings are fine.

+1 for the silver rings and the black quattro. That e-tron looks awesome. Can I ask where you got it? I would like to put that on my White e-tron.

My Daytona Grey Black Edition should be here in the next week or so. I have already bought the black rings F&R, black eTron badge (all black, no outline) and black quattro badge. I just think with the Black Edition (UK) having the black optics on the S-Line trim will suit. I agree, black badges on a black car get lost, but on a Daytona Grey with black optics, the badges should look great. I will post pics when I get it and install. Got black Thule aero bars and black bike carrier too. Will get the front side windows covered in light tint film and light film put under the factory tints on the rear window to make it darker.
