How do I remove S4 from front grille?
 
Cant seem to figure it out and I dont want to break the grille. Does it clip in? Screw in?

Thanks!

Raise hood, pull holding clip from behind badge, then pull badge out from front.
 
This worked on my B6 grille, but the B7 grille may have a slightly different fastener.

I dont think I can get at the grille from behind on my B7...
 
There is not enough room.

I will go check.

Thanks!

Badge design on a B7 grille may be different. Anyone with a Bentley manual help him out?

Not everyone likes to advertise their performance potential.
 
The only place you'll see my S4 badge is in my sig.

It appears the grille actually has a "mount" to which....
 
The badge connects to. Even if I pull off the badge I think the "mount" will still be there.

Maybe I will replace with the RS4 grille. Anyone know where to get it? And how much?

Thanks.

i don't really understand de-badging...
 
...i could see if the badges on audis were excessive. i get the "stealth thing", but audi's are so under the radar as it is. only valets and other VAG owners even know what S cars are.

90% of the time when you see a de-badged car, it is someone who is trying to pretend they have something more than they actually do. like all the 3-series rolling around with body kits and no badges, trying to pretend they are M-class.

Its a personal preference.....
 
I like the cleaner look on the car, any car for that matter. I debadged my Toyota Highlander too. Just looks clean.

To each his own, right?

of course :-)

i just left it off, could have made it work with some creative fab. work but it would have just been rigged. i think it looks fine without.

I'd remove V8 badge if anything,
 
leave the S4 badge. the V8 gets too many knuckle heads "you wish that thing had a V8" for the most part i dont want to pull over to watch them put thier foot in their mouth....

123Thumperer® 04-04-2006 11:00 AM

good point. that badge is being removed the day the B7 gets here. gonna replace it...
 
...with a HEMI badge!

123Thumperer® 04-04-2006 11:01 AM

so removing the badge leaves a little mounting tab which is molded as part of the grille?...
 
...looks like you could X-acto it right off pretty easily.

Re: I'd remove V8 badge if anything,
 
Where is the v8 badge? My 2005.5 does not have one.

JasonRS6 04-04-2006 12:38 PM

Thats an option, I guess

On the front fenders, under the marker lights.
