De-badged cars

[Rikki Kitto]

Thinking of getting rid of all the identifying badges and rings when I get the car sorted out what are peeps opinions on this, Marmite sort of thing I feel, but be nice to keep people guessing what's going on with the old beast

[Ian Simmonds]

Nah, they’re so rare now nobody knows what it is anymore. Least of all new Audi owners or worse still, Audi dealers. With the badges on at least they might go home and google what just wasted them.....

[Rikki Kitto]

I want them to wonder for evermore

then put 1.9tdi badges on it

Debadged can look cool. I say leave the rings tho.

I took the 'L' model badge off my kia sedona family wagon. It made no difference to how cool it looked

I couldn't get away from an A3 Diesel years ago that's when I decided to RS2 my car, maybe he wasn't a diesel at all

Naa keep it original badges front n rear with Audi 4 rings at the front. When somebody nicked the front badge off mine it felt like an ordinary Coupe (don’t ask why) so ordered a new one when I got home!!

[blux]

even had remark on my RS2 once (that has all the badges on there). It is an S-line? very nice

I once went into Audi dealers in the UK to ask a price for the Avus wheel centers i even had the part number, when he asked what car i said S2 he said cant be they never made an S version of the A2 So I just turned around and walked out

Keep the badges, they are subtle and make it look more special (to those that know) than a standard Coupe...

Wasnt Harrogate Audi was it lol!? Same exp there told the woman I had an S2 and she said exactly the same thing I said nope defo not let me show you what a proper Audi looks like and I always laugh at her face and what she said when she saw my car! She looked and said wow that’s nice how old is it about 6yr old I said no it’s 20 yr old!!!

Haha . Similar here. The numbers at the start of my registration are 903. A passer by one day admired my coupe when I was cleaning it
They stopped to chat and asked, 'is it a 2003 car?'

They were quite taken aback when I said no, it was made in 1990.

Says something about how modern it must have looked in a car park back in 1990.
