Debadged my car today

**Dieseldoos** · 30-03-2013,09:24 PM

... and driving to pick the other half up earlier noticed quite a few people tried to get me to race. Still, I just cruised along until they got bored and sped of looking for someone else, or sped away from the lights whilst I just drove away like normal. (Im getting old!)

I think it looks cleaner with no badges, allthough, where the S Line badges were on the front wings, looks kind of empty now.

Any pics?

Not yet, it was getting dark when I finished, so I am going to give it a good clean tomorrow and take some then, Its about time I uploaded some!

Funny this thread has popped up just when I've been explaining to SWMBO that the a4 badge and 2.0 TDI badges have to come off!

Before and after pics would be awesome if you have anything from before!?!

image.jpg image.jpg image.jpgNot the best pictures as I took them with the Ipad. I dont have any before pictures. I saved a few from the dealers website when I brought it but I did not save any of the rear.

I know some prefer to leave things as they were, but I have pretty much debadged every car Ive owned, ever since some chav stole my Calibra Turbo badges back in the late 90s and messed all the paint up in the process! And its easier to polish! I am not removing the Audi rings though.

Looks good but I (personally) would've kept the S-Line badges on the wings - but it's your car

I once saw a (misbadged) RS6 with a 2.0 TDi badge on it!

I felt that with the wing badges after I took them off, as it looks a little bare now. I am thinking of getting some 3M tape, cleaning them up and putting them back. That said, my other half prefers it with no badges, so we shall see!

But the rear badges are not going back thats for sure!

Agree on the rears - was gonna debadge mine but never got round to it.

I might remove the 1.9 from my A3 though and just leave the TDI like the MY2012 cars.

Looks spot on.
