precluding debadging of said grille. I've always debadged my grilles (excepting the rings, of course) due to my dislike of the asymmetry of Audi's badging.

as someone gets a wild hair and debadges the rings, it looks like ass. There used to be a B5S4 around with no rings front or back, looked terrible.

Oh, and these new V8 & V10 fender badges are the WORST!

I hated looking at them. Seems like the trend has stopped with the B5. I guess the folks finally realized that a De-ringed front grill on an Audi looks horrible.
