wes25 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Does anyone know where I can get S line badges for 1) the front grill on my A3 Sline and 2) one that would fit the steering wheel at the bottom of the wheel? The only thing missing from the interior of the S line is any badging but I want it to be subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kam Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 hey wes is it an S-line or are you trying to make it look like one cus it should already have one on the bottom of the steering wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes25 Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 ouch, thats cold! It is an S Line A3 3.2. Nothing worse than sticking a badge on something that dresses it up as something it isn't. I have seen pics of S lines with the badge on the steering wheel but the one I'm picking up on saturday doesn't have it. Its a '54 plate with full S line kit. Is it stitched into the steering wheel then or can I get a small one for the base of the wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the A4, I think the marketing department called it the "s-line" after the 190sport versions had started to leave the factory, so could be the same here.

darren_mercer Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I bought an s line badge for the grill from VAG parts. Think it cost about £16. Cant wait to fit it- when I finally get my car on the 1st!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeakerBuddy Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hi Kam, my S-line was one of the early ones and misses the spoiler and the interior s-line badging...just to support the claim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hey Beaker did you get the spoiler put on cus I know that the stealers were putting them on the early cars FOC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeakerBuddy Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 [ QUOTE ] did you get the spoiler put on cus I know that the stealers were putting them on the early cars FOC [/ QUOTE ] I did consider it but in the end I preferred it without...I kind of like it as it is. With regards the s-line badge on the steering wheel, is there not a little depression pressed into the leather where the badge sits? Just thought I'd mention it as I can't imagine retrospectively fitting a badge onto the leather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes25 Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Thanks guys. I've only just joined this site with my car arriving on Saturday so its great to get this amount of responses. Looks like I'll have to go without the steering wheel for now but I'll keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeakerBuddy Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 It was only a speculative question about the badge on the steering wheel. We need to wait till someone who has the badge as standard replies to confirm whether there is a depressed space pressed into the leather for it or not?? The pictures in the gallery didn't really show it in enough detail. Any how...you'll love the car regardless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gremlin Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 There is indeed a depressed space in the leather for the badge, as it is flush with the rest of the steering wheel. Seems unlucky that the '54 plate doesn't have one. Mine is an '04 plate from June '04 and I think they were pretty much standard by then. Nice touch though, so if you can fit one retrospectively, I'd definately give it a go! I also got the S Line grill badge for mine, another nice touch I think. Just be aware you will need a fancy star screw driver to loosen the grill, but then clipping the badge to it is real easy. Enjoy the car, I know you will!

kam Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 yep spot on gremlin sat in my Sline today and indeed the little S-line badge on the steering wheel looks superb although the steering wheel has the indent to take the badge for what it`s worth if I had one of the earlier cars without I would go out and buy the damn thing and stick it on the wheel just for the pleasure of seeing it every time I got into the car kam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes25 Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Has it really got an indent on the normal steering wheel as i'm quite dissapointed that mine hasn't got it. Anyone know ehere I can get a badge that small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 wes do you have the S-Line wheel??? you can get the badge from any stealer I would have thought. There should also be some new S-Lines around waitng for delivery on the 1st so you can see it for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
