Fitting rear badges

[CrispyEdd]

Good evening,

Anyone got ideas on how to fit new badges to the rear of the car?

For example superglue or silcone sealer? Clearly I have no idea as never done it.

I'm talking about the a2 and tdi badges. Positioning wise I can work that through.

Thanks

Why fit them car looks better without....

They come with self adhesive stickers

Okay will leave for another day, the old ones will be old glue then and impossible to refit. I can't justify spending on new badges right now.

They are fixed with double sided tape. New ones come with tape fitted to the badge. I had the 1.6FSI missing when I bought mine, I think it was built that way. Bought used from @Sarge cleaned the old tape off with solvent, cut new tape to fit each character. They've been there every since

As Mac says, double sided tape, it is a squishy neoprene type so it’s good for contours.

I think the challenge is the full stop. I was washing mine once and notice the full stop missing and there it was on the ground - that was a fluke. I know I shouldn't have done it, but I used a minute amount or epoxy . Just couldn't see sticky tape holding it.

I used 3M VHB double sided tape, for my . that was over 3 years ago. Still there. Tape was a bit thicker than the recess in each character, probably 1 mm, at a guess.

Audi have offered a no cost option on its cars for many years to have "no model inscription". I have opted for this on several of my new Audi's over the years. The first owner of my A2 specified this option also, hence I have no badges on the rear of the car..

It certainly does. Now most of the salt is washed off the roads I will get it up on a ramp and wash the underside and arches including the front wishbones....

The darker colours do appear more glossy. The car had not been polished in several months only used a shampoo with wax built in. Car does need to have a machine polish now to see what it looks like after kids used it as a pub bench and stuck behind 3 quarry trucks that must have been empty by the time they got to their destination!
