Naw. It looks way clean. Plus you get non-audi owners thinking it is an S4 all the time.

Default I am debadged except for my rings. Those will stay.
And debadging is a very German/Euro thing to do. Often owners of more powerful cars debadge to disguise what lies beneath the bonnet. I do it because it looks clean with just rings.

Default Nope. I debadge everything. I always leave the car logo, remove model and engine designation badges.
been doing this forever.. my 84 5000s was debadged, and on. Badges are for tool chest lids :-)

Default IMO, leaving the little quattro badge in the rear looks funny.
Front is OK, but something isn't right about that stupid little badge. I liked my Type44 100q that had "AUDI 100" on the left and "quattro" in normal letters on the right. Just debage the "AUDI 100" and you're good.
