when people have debaged their cars it means that they have taken the A4/A6 or whatever model sticker AKA badge off the back of their car it also generally means they have taken the engine type badge off as well.

agree with panda, keep the badges, leave the blank cars to the ricers, drive your audi with pride, except i am replacing my old 2.7 T with the silver 2.7 and red T

yeah that does look pretty good. i think it looks nice when people around here debadge their car and then get it chipped and put the APR tuned or GIAC tuned badge on

Thats a trait that ricer's started.. I like the badges... "Clean" is not what is being accomplished by removing them.. Just looks like someone stole them.

if you debadge your car, make sure u take it to a body shop and get the holes filled with weld and some paint thrown back on there, dont just leave the holes, that just screams rice...

the apr tuned badge is a gr8 way to make people scrach their heads, i think it would look sweet in place of the 1.8t quattro cymbol...

audios!

If you own an Audi, don't you want people to know it? Keep the badges!

People who buy a car for the badges or name are republicans. Buy it for what it is, not what other people think it is...otherwise you should just get a body kit for your rice rocket that will make it look like an Audi and slap some badges on it...
do people really buy cars to sport the badges...f*** ill sell you a my red rider wagon with my A4 badges on it if it will make you feel cool...you could tell all your frinds you own an Audi and be the coolest kid in Highschool

...and BTW if you remove them right it does not look like someone stole them...If you want some pics of a cleanly debadged A4 let me know

Anybody here not buy an Audi just to look cool ...maybe for its superior quality or the joy of tuning it...maybe im just crazy[sm=insomnia.gif] Dont get me wrong, Audi's are beautiful cars, but they are beauitful with or without the plastic Audi symbols.


Why is this in te Computer and Fuel Systems topic?

Hey herpes, this is a car forum you got a prob with conservitives take it you your whiner forums.



As to the badging, it's a personal taste.

I left the 4 rings, but ditched the a4 3.0 quattro...

why they are a pain to wash, wax, and clean around. Also i like clean lines. of the rear only broken by the 4 rings.

it's a personal taste.

Btw they are on with sticky tape not screwed on...

notice i said republicans not consevatives...big difference...didnt mean any offense

I just think buying an Audi to look cool is ricier then ten bowls of rice...BTW the name is HERPTILE not herpes (your very creative though)...look it up you might learn something

Grouse

so you purchased your audi because it did not look cool?

Eh...

Cars are a personal taste, just like the mods we do to them. some people are 1970 vw vans spewing 100's of pounds of contaminants each year. Some are truck folk. some are Toyota prius. Some.. well the Lucky few... are Audi people.

As for herptile I know what it was. your post did not warrant the proper use of your name....

hence your Herpes now..

:)

or maybe hepatitis.....

Nice to see this dragged back from the dead....

Goldielocks then went into the bears garage....

Papa bear had totally debadged his car...it looked pretty clean...but what was the deal...was he ashamed of his car?

Mama bear had added a V8 badge to her car...because she wanted eveyone to know.....why did she need everyone to know?

Baby bear's car was just right...no debadge...no extra added badges...very clean, without any hint of rice!

So Goldielocks got into Baby bears car and was about to drive away...when the BIG BAD WOLF appeared from his hiding place in the back seat and killed her.

The moral of the story....Stockbadge, Debadge, or Overbadge.....doesnot really matter....the BIG BAD WOLF is gonna get you anyway,
so don't worry about what other people think and just do what you want.

the wifey problem is always a funny one...ask the boys at superchargedaudi.com they might have some advice for you...

Get the exhaust and Supercharger(...and suspension, and...credit cards are the devil) then come down to Nor-cal and hit up the race track with me...bring the wife...she can hang out with my little lady and talk about how lucky they are to have men with supercharged Audi's...your badges might weight you down on the track though:D

where in Washington are you?

Guess I should have checked this post since I posted. I don't think any part of what I said implied that I bought my car to look cool because it was an Audi. I don't spend a lot of time throwing 40 grand around to look cool. I just think it's kind of tacky to take a perfect looking automobile and take the emblems off. Just my personal opinion. Awful lot of pissed off people in this forum...

HERPTILE

who's pissed off?

...I was ranting about the people that do throw 40 grand around to look cool...am I really the only person that comes across them (and gets slightly irritated)?

Hey, I come across them too. I must have read your post wrong. No worries. I thought you were trashing my post. I love my car and wouldn't change anything about having a luxury car.

Have to stay on the ball here. If you look at some of the other areas of this forum there are some really angry people. I just read your post the wrong way. My apologies.

They are only held on with tape so if you have holes i think you may have taken them off wrong

debaged or not people should know its an Audi either way(if your dealing with an actual car enthusiast and not some punk douchbag), all their cars are unique and definitly stand out over any ricer. In my own opinion leave the rings on the back of the car that way when the ricers are looking at your ass as you fly by they will know it was a much suppirior car!
