Had my Etron 55 now for just under 2 months and so happy with it. The change to electric for my driving requirement and distances covered is great . Went from about £200 / £250 a month on diesel from the A4 to about £80 on electric for the Etron .
Just missed the cut off for the face lift given on the newly named Q8 Etron but not much has changed at all that would have made me cancel the Etron order and then restart the waiting time for a Q8 . The drive is so quiet and refined especially with the air suspension and no diesel engine rattle …and it’s nippy enough to have some fun in when needed !
Some pictures attached for the forum users ,
I have debaged it , and changed the chrome badges for black Audi rings . Also got the car paint corrected , and ceramic coated , and when it’s clean its a great looking car !

Cheers
J

Thank you! This helps a lot!. I had soo many conflicting sizes and part numbers for the front and rear. Do you know if your back rings were the exact same size or were they slightly smaller/larger than the silver rings? Where were your rear lettering badges from? Amazon as well?.

Here is what I have so far...

83A071801 or 4KE853605 Audi emblem Black Rings Front (285mm x 99mm)
8W9071802 or 4K4071802 Audi emblem -Black rings rear (200mm x 6.8-7mm)
4KE071803 Lettering -Black etron rear (No idea of size but the black and orange version is around £40)
4KE071807 Lettering -Black etron side (Will leave these alone as they are)
4KE071806 Lettering -Black quattro rear (No idea of size but the black version is around £50)

Hi as the badges where official Audi parts they matched up to be the exact same size as the chrome / silver parts

I didn’t do the side Etron badges , just the front and rear , and removed the 55 and Quattro badges off the rear .

If you are doing the Etron badges at the side I would also go with the official Audi parts but sorry I can’t help with the part codes .

Contacted the seller on eBay for the front ones, none left in stock :( Probs will go for the clone versions, got those for my past 2 A4s, they were really good quality, just like Audi ones, but I knew the sizes of the A4 ones, I don't for the e-tron.

Gather some facts on Audi parts listings, these are the sizes.
83A071801 or 4KE853605 Audi emblem Black Rings Front (285mm x 99mm)
8W9071802 or 4K4071802 Audi emblem -Black rings rear (200mm x 70mm)

E-Tron black badges to the rear and only from Germany it seems.

8W9071802 or 4K4071802 Audi emblem -Black rings rear 200mm x 70mm TBC

Thanks for the details above ,
I am going to keep mine as it is currently with the back de badged and the side Etron lettering in the orange .

Let me see yours please when you get it !!
cheers
 
No worries, the car arrives tomorrow! getting the paint corrected today, 2019 plate (2020 Build) E-tron 55 Launch Edition in Typhoon Grey and Metropolis grey interior seats, etc.

I have now amended my post above to reflect some new information :)
 
Just noticed I cannot edit my post!

The new info is below. I added a few be careful items since these badges are £35-70! with some saying no returns. I order my E-Tron badge from Germany. I might give the 55 Quattro badge a miss since I can't find it in black, just use E-Tron black on the back and Black rings front and back. 2022 models don't have 55/50 Quattro anymore anyway, it's on the front doors now. A warning is that the 55 TSFI badges on eBay and from Audi are much larger than the Quattro badge on the E-tron and would look silly, E-Tron 5-/55 numbering badges are much smaller than the TDi and TFSI badges.

Amended parts list
83A071801 or 4KE853605 Audi emblem Black Rings Front 285mm x 99mm
8W9071802 or 4K4071802 Audi emblem -Black rings rear 200mm x 70mm
4KE071803 Lettering -Black E-Tron rear 123-125mm long (shorter than E-Tron GT badge! be careful)
4KE071807 Lettering -Black E-Tron sides I suspect 123-125mm TBC (however, I have seen 100mm cheap versions, also be careful)
4KE853737GT94 or 4KE071806 Lettering back (Quattro)
4KE853737C Lettering back (55 Quattro) This seems impossible to get in black, I have seen it in the US only (Link)
4KE853736B or 4KE853736B3Q7 Sline grill badge which clips into all E-Tron models (S badge is the same, clips into the grill)
8L9612519A Badge clips if needed (I was told they are not who knows :)

Parts site example: https://www.lllparts.co.uk/product/audi-4ke8537413q7-aluminium-standard/mpn/4ke8537413q7

Caliper paint: The color is taken from https://electrichasgoneaudi.net/models/e-tron/exterior/paintedcalibers/, however, it was slightly off. I found it to be an exact match for RAL1007 Daffodil Yellow

Hope this helps someone out :)
 
Наркотики представляют серьезную угрозу для здоровья и благополучия людей. Их употребление приводит к разрушительным последствиям как для индивидуума, так и для общества в целом. Вот несколько основных аргументов, демонстрирующих вред наркотиков.
kraken сайт
Во-первых, наркотики имеют негативное влияние на физическое и психическое здоровье. Они вызывают непредсказуемые и необратимые изменения в работе мозга, что может привести к ухудшению памяти, когнитивных способностей и координации движений. Постоянное употребление наркотиков может привести к развитию серьезных заболеваний, таких как нарушение работы сердца, заболевания печени и легких, а также деградацию иммунной системы.

Во-вторых, наркотики ведут к социальной деградации. Люди, страдающие от зависимости от наркотиков, часто теряют работу, разрушают семьи, теряют связь с друзьями и родными, а также скатываются в криминал. Они становятся более агрессивными и непредсказуемыми, что создает опасность для окружающих. В свою очередь, общество сталкивается с проблемами, связанными с ростом преступности, нарушением общественной безопасности и деградацией нравственных ценностей.

В-третьих, наркотики имеют экономический вред. Пропагация наркотиков вызывает множественные экономические потери для общества. Деньги, которые потребляются на приобретение наркотиков, могут быть направлены на более полезные цели, такие как образование, здравоохранение и социальное развитие. Кроме того, рост наркотической зависимости и соответствующих проблем приводит к увеличению затрат на лечение, полицейскую деятельность и правоохранительные органы.

Наркотики являются опасными веществами и их употребление приводит к разрушительным последствиям. Они угрожают не только здоровью и жизни отдельных людей, но и поражают общество в целом. Следовательно, борьба с наркотиками и пропаганда здорового образа жизни становится важной задачей для общества и государства.
