My A2 only says A2 on the left and TDI on the right - I removed the 1,4 badges without a hair dryer in less than 10 minutes by just pulling them off and rolling the glue in a bundle with my fingers and taking it off... one wash later and there was no evidence of ever having had 1,4 badges...

Well that sounds a lot easier than the effort I put in with the hair dryer. I guess that proves that not all advice is good advice. If only I knew before that it just pulled off!!

hehehe... BUT you have to pull VERY hard... hairdryer sounds the safer option and I would advise to use your option any day!

Badges ?!?!?!

We don't need no stinkin' badges !!

I've removed all badges from the rear. Even the licenseplateholder is blank.

Originally I intended to keep it blank, but because it looks so different with the bodykit on I felt I should continue to make it different that's all. Nothing that looks like a Max Power special or anything though!! Just trying to be subtly different. That's why I bought Audi or VAG only parts.

I think regardless of what you do the one thing that is begging to be taken off is the 1.4, as for me it's hard to believe that Audi make a 1.4, everyone just asumes that it's a 1.9tdi or similar. But hey, badges aren't for everyone.

... which is exactly why I took only the 1,4 badges off!

I had my 1.4TDI badges removed today, the easiest way by far and "they" guaranteed not to damage to paint was to pop along to your local Audi garage and speak to them nicely. Two cups of coffee and a flick through an A8 broacher later they car came back de-badged and the bits popped into a bag for me! I no longer feal size is an issue. lol.
Its funny how all my mates seem to think i have about 2Litres under the bonnet.

A2 Sport, Dolphin Grey, Bose, Red leather, Climate, Open Sky.
 
I did the badges myself with a hairdryer, left the A2 badge but removed the 1.4, now toying with either 2.8 or 4.2 to put there instead.
 
As I said above, the badges I've put on my car don't lie about what is under the bonnet and pretend to be something it's never going to be, it merely creates selective reading. Not many people know anything about A2's so are surprised to find out that they are only a 1.4 (excluding fsi), so in removing the 1.4 your taking that knowledge away from them but equally your not lying about whats under the bonnet. I think that people would be able to believe that the A2 is a 1.9 or 2.0, but they are never going to believe that it's a 2.8 or 4.2!! That's a stretch too far for anyone's imagination in my opinion, and may create a haunting echo of laughter as you cruise down the street. If I were you I wouldn't go down the route of lying about what's under the bonnet as that's the road to shame, especially when people expect it to go like a rocket, which it's obviously never going to do. Don't spoil your car, it's cool the way it is!

I'm sure that this thread is supposed to be discussing the Audi Bodykit, but I guess it's my modified car in general that's being discussed.

Would just like to express a word of caution about the use of a hairdryer.
I had all of my badges removed as a factory option (why didn't any of you do that??), so no real experience, BUT, the lower part of the rear hatch is made of plastic, not aluminium, so I could imagine that excessive heating could deform or otherwise damage the surface! A hairdryer is quite cold, but if any one of you decide to use a paint stripping heat gun, then consider yourself warned!

I like the kit alot, just looks that bit different.
Just what I'm after at the min. Not sure weather to go for a 1.4tdi sport or the FSI. Both of which have been offered to me at a very good price and fully loaded with extra's.

You can combine the kit with fog lights as audi of bedford have an a2 with the full kit and fogs as a demo at the min in amulet red.
 
will have to have a look on the Audi car locator to see if I can see it in red, sounds different! I can highly recommend the kit as it's good to be different!

I've just had a look at the Bedford Audi amulet red fsi sport with the bodykit on through the Audi used car locator. I have to say I much prefer the car with the bodykit on, but not sure about amulet red though? I always wanted to see fogs and the kit together because I feel that this is what the front of my car is missing, and having seen them it has now confirmed my suspicions! £13,595 for that spec on an 03 plate is a very good price, certainly less than I payed for mine, it's a bargin!!
