Default 'Quattro' badge on S4 grill?

Just installed an S4 grill on my B6. Can't get the Quattro badge to fit but I've seen them on the forum. How do you get it to fit? It seems tight.

You have to trim the grill for it to fit, I did it on mine. Dremel tool works best.

Default Re: trim the badge or trim the grill?

Trimming the badge seems easier, but I'm not sure I understand you about trimming the grill. Where do you trim it?

Default the Quattro badge is wider than the space between the vertical slats of the S4 grille...

...so you would need to see if you can remove enough of the back of the Quattro badge to sit flush enough to secure the clips, or remove some of the grille's vertical slats to accept the Quattro badge.

Default I trimmed the badge so it would sit flush on the grille...

just the rear part near each side of the badge that goes up against the slats need to be made thinner. I used 2 black zip ties thru the rear badge support (usually where clips go) and around the grille slats to hold it in place. you can't tell unless you look at it close up.

if you trim grille, its not good for resale value.
