Default Debadging

I want to completely debadge my TT but I am wondering, is the large Audi symbol in the center just stuck on with glue like the other badges or will there be holes under it when I remove?

It is stuck on with glue/double sided tape really.
Use the dental floss and a hair dryer.
Heat it up as much as you can and then saw the dental floss thru the glue. Once you get a corner of it up, you can carefully pry it up. I used a plastic putty knife to pry it and it came right off. I also used Goof off to get the glue off.
I love the clean look my TT but has now.

Default Keep your rings...

also, after debadging my "quattro" I feel like I have "less" of a car. The other day I drove next to a 225QR and I felt inferior without my quattro badge. Oh well though...it does look way better w/o it.
