Genuine Grill and Bonnet Badges in Black?

[Dubjam]

Does anyone know if Audi do these in a gloss black rather than the chrome?

Pretty sure they do mate, if not I know I've seen them on ebay.

Have you tried phoning audi dealers and speaking to parts desk?

Im pretty sure Audi don't sell them in black, never seen one from the factory with it as an option.
There are plenty online or on eBay that look OEM

 

[Dubjam]

Yes i did speak to Audi and they where particularly unhelpful

Thanks Ash, i might have the originals painted...see you tomorow btw

 

[BaileyA3]

Could be wrong but I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that audi do them in black for the q7, don't know if that helps. Doesn't surprise me that they were unhelpful to be honest. On another note I've seen somewhere before that people vinyl wrap their badges, could save you a bit of money if you're handy with that kind of thing.

Even if Audi did do it for the Q7 they would look hideous on the A3 as they are huge!

The ones I have are solid black ABS plastic (as far as I know.) Not much of an issue for the back ones of course but they seem to me to be very durable material and I suspect it will take a sizeable force to break them. I was very concerned that wrapping or painting the originals wouldn't stand the test of time.

My Xenonz grille then came with a new set of black rings that looked to be made of the exact same material. Still happy with the whole setup.

I wasn't suggesting using the q7 rings, just a thought that if they do them for a q7 then they might possibly do them for other models. Although I didn't realise their was much of a size difference between models.

If you have no joy from above, I will probably be replacing my chrome ones off my 2012 Sline, so great condition, with black, so we could work something out if you want them
