it looks a lot better off. when i took mine off i found out that someone removed them earlier and made some serious scratches so i was forced to put them back on. be very careful when taking them off so you dont make any scratches!

Use some mono-filament fishing line to get the badges off, and some goo-gone with a soft rag and some elbow grease to get rid of any remaining adhesive. I was gonna post a pic of mine but the only one I have that shows the whole back of the car was taken in February and the car is under 4 feet of snow LOL

When I first debadged, I took off the "A4" and the "2.8" but left the rectangle "Quattro" badge, ended up takin that off too like a month later but left the rings. Gotta rep the rings lol

Depending on if i decide to keep this car or not, this one or my next one will not be marked at all... I want people to go, "damn what is that" and then not let them find out cuz jm2c th a4b5 is turning into the next honda civic jm2c....

I prefer leaving the fine and silky badged pedigree on my purebred rather than proverbially shaving it all off.
