AmitUK Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi, Some ****** stole the audi badge(the 4 rings) of the front of my A4 (B7 Special Edition). Looking at the car now, you can see that the badge only clips in so is fairly easy to remove. When I asked my local Audi dealer for a replacement, they said I needed to pay £300 + VAT to get a replacement because you can't order the badge by itself. Apparently you need to buy the whole front grill again. I think that's ridiculous - I could understand if it was soldered on, but considering it's only a clip on badge I think thats extortionate! Anyone know any place I can get hold of one of these? I've tried e-bay but can only find badges for the B6 A4 - I'm not sure if they are the same, any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Well they are correct, you cannot buy just the rings for the, I have just thrown my old one away with a set of rings on it. It may have fitted, but it was for an A8. Anyway, about the price, they are wrong, the grill costs between £92 and £102 depending on which one you want. I'm sure you could get at least 10% off or even try VAG PARTS for a replacement, they are usually cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyliss Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Replacing the grille necessitates removing the front bumper too etc..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quattrophenia Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 That really is madness! I'd be ringing around a few scrappers if I was you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigyb Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Wrong car, those are for a B5 A4, and bizarrely the rear rings are available from Audi for £11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmitUK Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks all for your responses... sidicks, it's funny you mention your neighbours car - it's amazing how many Audi A4's I notice now while walking around, including my neighbours! I must admit, the thought has crossed my mind!!! It transpires that the £300 odd is for the grill and labour - as someone pointed out in an earlier post, the front bumper has to come off. Obviously I told Audi where to go... Apparently, the mrs knows someone who works for VW that can get hold of the grill at near cost price - about £50 he reckons. I'll probably go for that, take the badge off it and stick it on my car. If anyone needs a grill (without the badge) for a B7 A4 then let me know!!!

AmitUK Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Just as a back-up, does anyone know if the badge for B6 A4 would fit? There's one on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUDI-A4-B6-AUDI-RI...7QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
