    Body shop screwed up my emblem

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I just picked up my car from the body shop and they totally screwed up the S4 emblem on the trunk. Its out of line and looks like the 4 is an exponent. It also looks like they put the 4 from an A4 on there. Can someone either link me to a nice hi res photo of our beautiful emblem or take a pic and post it so I can show the body shop their mistake. I know its minor, but I want her back how she belongs! Thanks.

    DOH!! Found one. Sorry for the premature post. I'm just irritated.

    Re: Body shop screwed up my emblem

    sorry about no pic but, horizontally, the bottom of the badge should line up with the bottom of the clear part of the tail lamp lens (reverse light). vertically, the bottom point of the "flag" on the S part (leftmost) should be at (and above, obv) the leftmost part of the line on the trunk. if that makes any sense.


    it's deceptive... it looks like the bottom corner of the flag and it's relation to the line on the trunk should be on a diagonal slant, but it's the tail lamp's slant that fools the eye

    no problem about the pic. thanks for the great description.

    youd think they would have taken photos of the old trunk lid for minor crap like this. especially since all of the damage was on the right side anyway. oh well. guess ive gotta do their job for them.
