missing s3 badge

[audiholic ste]

Hello there new to this site and all things internet based . But owned a few audis now . My first love of audis was a black 1990 audi 80 2litre 16v sports . Then I moved to a quattro version of the same car then I brought a 1995 red a4 1.8t sports with s4 bumpers . This is a car that I will never ever sell I ****** love this old car I'm an addict to it .

But I have brought a black x reg s3 with the intention to fall in love with this as much as the red a4 but it's a hard car to love . The day after we brought her home she broke down and it went back to the garage then she came home a couple of days later . Then a week after that the brake lines went or the rears back in the garage next it had its identity stole and I started get speeding fines then the next thing clutch pedal went and the turbo pipes were splitting faster than I could change them and now some little sod has nicked the badge from the front but it's the chrome one with the depressed numbers on it .

Can someone help me out and tell me where I can buy one . Looked on eBay and all the places but can't find one for love or money . Please help

Will do cheers pal will I need the part number

Give them the model and year and they should be able to sort it... they may ask you to PM your reg or VIN number... I wouldn't post it on the open forum but if you start the request on the forum first then they will let you know..

[audiholic ste]

I just change the badges to the newer facelift ones, I did, looks so much better.

 

[kryton]

I disagree, the original badge looks best!

 

[audiholic ste]

Kryton and jojo are we not talking about the same badge . The one I'm after is the one on the front of jojo's car . Any help would be great . Does anyone know where to buy this badge .

 

[Routledge]

Get the new one it looks better IMO

Yuk & yuk!

 

[kryton]

i have the old badge its more sophisticated and elegant

 

[kryton]

try looking for ones being broken thats how i got my rear one

 

[audiholic ste]

I don't want the new style badge I can find them anywhere . Iwant the badge like Kryton's or jojo's . A miles nicer badge hence the reason why they are as rare as rocking horse ****..

 

[S3 Rav]

I'd have to agree with jojo. I actually prefer the pre-facelift badges.

I've just noticed my badge sits one slot lower that the red car, I got my car waaay back in 2001 from Audi, so curious which car is correct? Not that it matters one bit! lol

 

[Vex182]

I think the matching style of badge fits best with the edition of the car, sorted

 

[Dani_B19]

Old style = crap. Simples .

 

[kryton]

i r ckon yours is corr ct, i put mine on the other day but didnt really take note of where my previous one had come off

 

[cecilthesausage]

Got to be old school....

 

[audiholic ste]

It has to b old school but where can I find one .

 

[cecilthesausage]

You will just have to keep searching on EBay.... Sure one will come up...

 

[audiholic ste]

I can only live in hope .

 

[sportquattro]

Old style badge definitely much nicer IMHO, and stands out much better than new style badge.
