I’m still trying to find a front grille RS3 Badge
Mine are from a fella on Instagram under the username @fresh_mods_uk
They all seem the legit parts but as the car isn’t here yet they aren’t fitted
The K-electronic ones are good but quite expensive.
They re-finish oem badges which is probably why they ain’t cheap.
There used to be a company called euro badges.com but they seemed to have closed down.
Don´t like the chrome audi badges. I have tried to find mat alu badges to match the alu pack
I would be interested in these....
Quick one, are these badges easy to fit ??

Easy mate. Most difficult bit is just getting the existing clue off. More of a pain in the a** than difficult.
Thanks.
Are they glued on then ?
Rear badges are glued on. Front grill badge is clipped in but can be carefully teased off with a plastic trim removal tool (ie, without actually having to remove the grill).
For the rear badge I used a heat gun and some strong nylon fishing line (or briad may also work). Gently warm up the badge with the heat gun and put the fishing line underneath the badge. Pull it across so as to slice through the glue underneath (like a cheese wire). I tied a large loop in the fishing line to make it easier to grip.
Once the badge is off, you will need some cleaner (a solvent) to clean off the glue residue left behind (see pic below)
Tip: Cut a template (piece of card) before removing the original badge. You can then tape it on the car and use it to position the replacement in the right spot.
The glue residue left behind can be a real pig to get off.....

Phil3 told me about a lad on insta, bought front and rear Audi badges and the rear RS3 badge for 36....so why the feck you’d pay in excess of this for one badge is beyond me
Yeah after reading this post I contacted this chap through Insta and got same badges for my FL saloon. Picked car up Friday and this was my first mods before the weekend was over. Will post up pics and spec soon.

Something happened to your motor mate?Im having the top of my boot resprayed and need to remove the rings. I've ordered another set but does anyone know if there is a template out there for fitting these? Mines a 2016 PFL.
Cheers
I tried glue and tar remover from auto glym but it was not very good. I then resorted to petrol and it took the glue straight off with a little soak on a rag and wiped in.
You'd never guess, I was snowfoaming her today and don't ask how or why but the lance mustn't have been clipped on properly. It ****** flew off staring at the top of the boot and dented and scratched it. Luckily a friend of mine has his own body shop so he is going to sort it mates rates...Something happened to your motor mate?
I don’t know if you think I’m being sarcastic or not but I’m being serious. Petrol takes glue straight off without damaging any paintworkGood one
