Default Hey, you should have checked mine out yesterday at the dealer :)

The thing pops right in, I believe the only tool you need is a screw driver to ease the pain on your fingers. There are a few ways to attach the emblem too. I have seen zip ties, and bolts. Let me know when you get and drop me a line.

It snaps in place w/ ~8 clips. I Krazy glued my Quattro badge on w/ no problems yet.

Default Here's what you need to do........

Pry the tabs on the stock grill with a large flat head screw driver. It will pop out in about 30 seconds. The new grill will snap right in. In terms of the badge, you will need to remove some or all of the plastic attachment piece on the rear of the badge so that it is essentially a flat piece or at least so that it can fit neatly into one of the slots on the RS4 grill. Then apply some silicone adhesive to the back of the badge to adhere it to the grill.

Default to attach the badge easily:

remove some of the plastic as shown in the tech article. I then used 2 large black zip-ties to attach it to the grill.
