The B7 RS4 has an RS4 badge at the bottom of the wheel. Its black and red paint tends to get chipped over time, rendering a bit shit looking…
Here’s one on an RS4 in the UK. They’re pretty much all like this after a while. It looks like someone has really gone at it, but it just happens from casual contact.

I asked the parts guy how much it would be…and I was shocked it was $60. With a discount! Best online deal was $40. Here’s one on ebay for $120 lololol. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Audi-RS4-Steering-Wheel-Badge-RS4-Logo-Emblem-Chrome-Plated-Sporty-Look-Genuine-/321452273787?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ad80c707b&vxp=mtr
So I popped mine off and decided to ‘fix’ it. I was going to buy some model paint and touch it up, but when I did, the remaining paint, I found, came off real easy. FYI to pop it out I just wedged the key in the side of it and twisted and out it came. Easy as pie.
Anyway, once I got it out, it became apparent that it was too small to re-paint, mostly because I’m impatient and it would be really tough…the badge is maybe 1 cm wide by 0.5 cm tall.
So I decided to just take all the paint off. Undernearth it’s a mix of matte silver, and shiny silver where the latters are, so I just cleaned it right up, and put it back clean. I used a combo of my fingernail, a toothpick, rubbed it face down on a pad of paper (best) and a pencil eraser to get the paint off. Here’s the result…
