Dude said in his post he has an S-Line

If you like it, do it. It's not like you're making a false statement.

Exactly.

**belzebutt** · 10-08-2009 10:49 AM

I think it adds a little touch of custom, but I'm not going to do it if it means I'll get made fun of at my next Audi meet. That's why I'm putting it out there.

**Alkivar** · 10-08-2009 10:57 AM

grill looks better without it... i'm considering taking out the quattro badge as well.

**B_Boy** · 10-08-2009 11:19 AM

actually it would be similar to the B7 s-line's they had the s-line badge in the grille.

**Blake P** · 10-08-2009 11:28 AM

Yay... because I did the same thing and it looks awesome! I think the badge looks much better on the grille than the fenders so I removed the S Line fender badges and used one of them on the grille instead.

**b6onboost** · 10-08-2009 11:30 AM

An S-Line badge on the grille is fine if your car is an S-Line since its not a misrepresentation.

**sakimano** · 10-08-2009 11:38 AM

yay,nay or gay?

I say nay. Quattro is cool. S-line sounds a little...meh. Not quiet an S/RS car...so not sure why advertise it. I find it weird that Audi puts that badge on the car in the first place.

It also carries no weight in the enthusiast world...the only people who know what it is are Audi drivers, and really nobody lusts after s-line cars. "I have an S-line" doesn't really move the needle. Just as "I have an M-package" or "I have an AMG appearance package" doesn't.

If you like the aesthetics of that badge, then do it...but I like the Quattro badge.

Do it and set up a poll with before/after pics.

**fazda** · 10-08-2009 11:43 AM

yay!

Well it's gonna cost me $40 so I kind of want to know before committing... I'm on the fence as it is.

In that case, definitely "Nay." Treat someone to lunch with that money instead.

I don't really have any specifically of the badge, but you can see it in the following pics...

**sakimano** · 10-08-2009 01:02 PM

the real s-line badge is the AWESOME appearance of the car

Blake...that thing looks perfect.

Thank you sir.

**MiracleWhips** · 10-08-2009 01:31 PM

I agree that the badge is nice in the grille, and is something to be proud of and represent...

But it should only be placed in the grille in exchange for removing the fender badges. Potentially having two S-Line badges in one viewpoint would look lame IMO. Then you can use the argument, it is only and S-Line, no need to remind me twice!

**Okan509** · 10-08-2009 02:27 PM

remove all the badges, make it more of a sleeper. ha, someone will under estimate you at a red light, and boom, respect.

The law of conservation of badges? :)

Excellent photos once again... I'm a lot more tempted now after seeing these. But I do see you removed the side badges a-la B7, which keeps the look clean. Hmm...

**Ryan_T** · 10-08-2009 03:50 PM

I'd much sooner replace S-Line with Quattro. So that's a nay from me.

**00a4** · 10-08-2009 03:55 PM

i've got a german flag badge on my grille and I thnk its better than an S-line (but I dnt have an S-Line so I can't really talk)

Something like that.

**CLEAR** · 10-08-2009 05:24 PM

if you get the front S-line.. then you need the sides and rear badges... unless you already have it...

**iamaudi.com** · 10-08-2009 05:37 PM

Yay, it’s the little details that make the difference.

**joung300** · 10-08-2009 06:42 PM

yay

**audi til I die** · 10-08-2009 06:50 PM

nay

That's the same heirachy as here in the UK. quattro trumps S-line

BTW, rebadging my grille was not to say that S Line is more important than quattro, but merely an aesthetic decision that the S Line badge is more visually pleasing than the quattro badge. IMO, buying an Audi without quattro is blasphemous.

**scottyuk** · 10-09-2009 09:30 AM

If it's so important to you then you should know it's never spelt with a capital q.

Ok, now you're just being obnoxious.

**scottyuk** · 10-09-2009 11:41 AM

hehehe just trying to help

**gtrab** · 10-09-2009 01:34 PM

I say YES:

the slight red touch in the S Line badge is a cool detail (see Blakes pics)

.

**WantAvant** · 10-09-2009 02:03 PM

I say take all 3 of them off completely
