Default A"4" backward emblem.

Hi people..

I have done a search on this and there is no real advice on this so I am hoping there will be now as it has been some time since this was posted on here..

I have a 2000 A4 1.8t and I have debadged it. The "4" is backward if you look at the photo it is clear the 4 is the right way as the angles on the "4" is the same as the "A". The underneath of the "4" has all the sticky crap on it and is flat.

So please does anyone have any idea about this. Also the red shadow on the "t" this is the 170hp engine I believe. The other post I have read about this normally states the 170hp engines were in the late 2001 models. This is a New Zealand new model and on the spec card it says 132kw which = 170hp this is not an import so maybe there is some exception to this..

Many thanks for any helpful info! [sm=burnout.gif]

I'm dyslexic - so it looks okay to me

The '4' is just turned sideways; it's not backwards.

There is some comments on the other post that it is a Euro edition but it is a Euro car so not so sure on that..

How do you turn a 4 too far though? this will be pressed by a machine designed by Audi so I think it's intended to be like this...

If it is a mistake or something done wrong then they will be putting them self at risk of some action taken against them surely, so why would Audi risk that?

Rotate it counter-clockwise 90 degrees. the 4 should be about half as tall as the A. should look likethis pic:

Wow, i am really confused Is that a pic of numbers on or off the car? If it is a pic of on: then someone got stoopid and stuck it on that way. If it is off: do you really need us to figure that out for you?!

The red flag thing is standard and equates to the 170hp engine for all of 2001 in the states.
