Default Old Badge on a 2002 S4...what would you do?

My car had to go in for some minor refinishing and they had to remove the badges to do it. I just drove by the shop and noticed this:

The car is a 2002, so I should have the new badge, but for some reason they decided to stick the old badge on it. Now I kind of like the old badge, but it really bothers me when people rebadge cars and I don't want to be a hypocrite, but I guess since it IS and S4, it's not really rebadging. On the other hand, now the badges on the grill and the trunk don't match (I guess an RS4 grill would fix that). Should I tell them to fix it? What would you guys do?

I don't think I'd like the debadged look, but I'll think about it.

Default Have them remove that and give you the new badge unmounted

This way, you are debadged for a few days and if you don't like it you can rebadge.

Keep it and rebadge the front or go with the RS4 grill.

Default I think the old badge is much more attractive than the new one

Just get the matching badge for the front and you're good to go
