Default S4 badge on RS4 grill....

Anyone know how to put it on.

Drove up to Clair Parts today, so I got an RS4 grill while I was getting a replacement rear badge...

Default Re: S4 badge on RS4 grill....

I basically sanded down the rails to the point of the rails just barely fitting into the open space of the mesh hole. Only took off small amounts at a time. The result was basically a "press-fit" mounting of the badge into the grill. No other hardware needed and it's been on for 2 weeks and not fallen off. Just be patient to sand small amounts of the rail off to get a good, snug fit. Also you will have to sand the rails somewhat individually so that the badge is level to the eye. I'll post a pic some day soon.

Default Speaking of this...

...if someone has pics or text on how this FAQ needs to be amended for the different size of the new-style S4 badge, please let me know!
