Re: Looking for your opinion - Emblems
Hmmm... I am currently debadging my A4 and 1.8T letters. Will leave the rings on. What do you think about leaving/not leaving the "Quattro" on? It's usually right below the 1.8T on the right bottom side of the trunk. On, off... I'm undecided on that part!

Re: Looking for your opinion - Emblems
1. conservatism - to hide the excellence of the car (i.e. removing S6 or V10 badges)
2. aesthetics - to clean up the look of the rear end a la that TT above
3. shame - to hide the car model and keep people guessing if it's more upmarket than it is
hopefully you're doing it for #2, in which case there'd be no reason to leave that quattro badge back there on its own

Re: Looking for your opinion - Emblems
debadging is generally done for one of three reasons
1. conservatism - to hide the excellence of the car (i.e. removing S6 or V10 badges)
2. aesthetics - to clean up the look of the rear end a la that TT above
3. shame - to hide the car model and keep people guessing if it's more upmarket than it is
hopefully you're doing it for #2, in which case there'd be no reason to leave that quattro badge back there on its own

PS - I'm surprised someone would be shamed to have an Audi of any sort!
