Hi,
So I wanted to change the chrome 4 ring badges on the front grill and rear hatch on my S1. I’ve bought the eBay ones for a previously owned A1 & A3. They were ok but as stated on this forum they are slightly smaller, but worse still, the gloss black ones fade over time and generally are poor quality. So I wanted to get Audi OEM gloss black ones. As usual the dealer said that Audi don’t make black badges for the S1. Anyway I ordered black gloss badges for a Q3. Of course the rear hatch 4 ring badge fits easily as it’s just a self adhesive and is the exact same size as the S1 chrome 4 ring badge. The Q3 gloss black 4 ring badge for the front grill is the exact same size as the S1 chrome front grill badge. The only thing that is different are the two locating pegs at the bottom of the badge. I cut these off with a small hack saw blade. These pegs do not effect how the badge is fitted. They just show you which way up the badge is fitted. The clips around the perimeter of the badge (13 of them) are the ones which actually secure the badge to the grill.
These gloss black OEM Audi 4 ring badges fit perfectly and the quality is far superior to the ones bought on eBay. Of course they are more expensive, but well worth it. Just thought I’d post this up as I couldn’t find anything on here about black Audi OEM badges for the S1. Hope it helps.
