They come like this from factory, including my S4. Story I was told when I enquired is that it’s intentionally done to compensate for the weight of the driver..they just never got around to carrying out the opposite for our right hand drive cars.
ive left it as it for the moment until I make my mind up about changing to an RS style honeycomb grill. The front badge is an easy swap as it simply clips in. Lots of vids on YouTube on how to tackle it.
Hopefully you can see the attached pics.
I don’t normally photograph my car so I don’t have many before pics, other than the one I took the day I changed the badges.
I haven’t done the front grille yet as I’m considering swapping it for an RS style at some point.
I recently swapped all of my chrome badges for gloss black ones, it’s a bit stealthier as the S4 badges are hard to see in black and as you mentioned, it matches brilliantly with the black optic pack.
I found all the badges i needed on eBay, all were around £8-9 each with free delivery and...

Haha! I use the performance mostly on motorways and the back roads around Dorset,Wiltshire, Hampshire and Somerset. I’m not one for hooning it around town. It never comes out of dynamic mode either:innocent:
Thought I’d post my stats after leaving my trip on for 10k miles.
Car is now on 18k and the factory fitted Hankook ventus S1 Evo’s still have 3mm all round. Anticipating at least 20k from them.
