how to replace front badge on A3 2021

[jonnyturbofingaz]

Hi how do i go about getting a new black badge for the a3 2021 but not from audi themselves? all ive seen availible are too long, ive look into getting to the clips from behind the grill by removing the cover between the front and engine bay, i can get my hand down there and touch the grill area but not sure what it looks like down there, i was hoping to push the clips out from behind, has anyone done this? thanks

If its the same as the S3 you need these - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274388852412

This seller also does gloss black, best way is to start of the left ring around 7 oclock and use a trim pry tool, put masking tape all around the rings so if you slip you dont fudge the plastic surround

wow ive been looking everywhere for one thats 249mm ish thats what my front one is, all ive seen is the 270mm thansk ill look into it, did you get one from here? does it fit well? i was hoping to pop it out from theback of the grill as the grill surround is quite tight against the badge :/ im more bothered about bending out the grill around the badge than the badge itself, thanks for the help.

I ordered one today from the same place, you wont bend it just make sure you use the right tools. Slip a cable tie in once you have one corner off so you get my leverage and can pull as well as pry
