    Another RS5 Front Emblem Question

    It appears to me as though Audi changed the way they've mounted the front RS5 Emblem. I know the older ones had a plastic bar that basically secured the grill emblem clips. Remove the bar then unclip the emblem and it pops off. On my 2022 the emblem is secured to a backing plate aka "Nameplate Holder". Here's some pics to give you an idea. If anyone knows how to unsecure it from the plate please let me know. I can't tell if they are just pressed together or if there's an actual clip that holds it. I don't care about damaging the emblem or the holder, I just don't want to damage the grill itself. The holder pic was taken with my cell phone. I can certainly drill out the emblem and eventually break the holder but if I can just separate them I'd rather take that route. I searched all over the net and really can't find any useful info on this. I'd imagine other newer models use this method too although I can'f find any info to support that.

    Thanks and any suggestions and/or tips are greatly appreciated.

    OK, hopefully this will help someone in the future wanting to remove/replace the front emblem. Was actually way easier that I anticipated, my biggest concern was damaging the grill. A stubby flathead screwdriver pushed inward (toward the center of the emblem) on the rear tabs while gently pulling out on the emblem removes it. The holder sits on a small lip on the inside of the grill and it just slides off. Simple. Chewed up one tab a bit but other than that nothing else was damaged. It's still useable.
