Default the way it works is there's a couple of spring clips that clamp the badge to one of the horizontal

grille bars. I'm sure you could use a zip tie to attach it though.

Default Here's what you do...

Clip off the back of the tabs so that it's just a flat backing. Make sure it's sanded or completely flat. Then just look at some photos of where it's supposed to go and use crazy glue to mount it.

Make sure it's level and in the right spot.

Default You could always dremel it down and use 3M double-sided tape .. I did on my RS4 grille.

Default These are all good ideas but what I did to get it on my grill is a bit different...

I didn't want to double tape it since it will eventually come off, and I'm not a fan of crazy glueing anything. I just filed down the center, so there were two thin 'prongs' sticking out the back, and I melted 2 needle size holes in horizontally in the prongs(with a red hot needle). Then I got some thin bendable wire(I think it's copper, not sure) from the local hardware store and sliped them through the holes and tied the two ends in a knot on the back side of the grill. That way no one can ****** it off also. Just my .02

Default I found that the adhesive called "GOOP" works very well for this application.

You will have to remove the hooks all the way down to the back of the badge, almost flat. I used fingernail clippers.
