RE: S-Line badge
Unless you have an 07 model, your grille wont have a flat surface to install that badge.
The 07 s-line models have a dedicated flat piece on the grille if i'm not mistaken.
If you want i'll let you in on how you attach after-market badges to grilles?[8D]

Similar to the S3 Grill in the pic. Not sure how much you paid for the S-line badge, but I would have just bought a S-line grill instead.

RE: S-Line badge
When attaching S3 or S Line badges to your Audi it should fall under one of these typical scenarios:[ul][*] replacement badges for S3 or S Line vehicle that were lost[*] badges for a vehicle that is mechanically identical to a factory-spec S3 or S Line vehicle[*] badges for a current vehicle that is mechanically superior to a S3 or S Line vehicle
[/ul]Nothing dilutes a brand more than "everyone" going to the store to get a gallon of milk and loaf of bread in their "upgraded" Audi that doesn't in fact have the upgrades...

RE: S-Line badge
I see where you're coming from Blue Jays and I somewhat agree.
On the TDI forum we had a "somewhat" unwritten rule about badges and mods. The typical letter for the "TDI" was silver and a person would replace each silver letter with a red letter as they modded. The "I" was for just a chip, the "D" was for stage II with bigger injectors, and the "T" was for stage III big turbo upgrades +. Not a bad system, but not everyone followed it either.
It's one thing to pass your car off as a true S3, it is another to have the badges. Any Audi knowledgeable person would immediately tell the difference. Hmmm...you have 4 doors??? LOL

Hello Blue Jays, if know anything about Audi A3 you would know that the 2006 2.0T Sportpackage is exactly the same car as the 2007 S-line , mechanically identical to a factory-specS Line vehicle, the only difference is the badges and by the way comments like that ( " Nothing dilutes a brand more than "everyone" going to the store to get a gallon of milk and loaf of bread in their "upgraded" Audi that doesn't in fact have the upgrades... " ) are just uncalled for , who are you to tell people what to do to their cars.
