Even by Audi standards, I don't think they require a full disassembly to fit a badge.

Update 29/7/24
I bought the W12 front badge  It does look suspiciously easy to fit on page 336 of the Exterior Parts Service Manual but it is impossible to access from the front. As you said Steamship, Page 267 of that manual shows a simplistic exploded diagram of how the grille is attached but I had a lot of head-scratching over the weekend so it's still not fitted yet.Worth noting is that the badge looks very different to that displayed on page 336 - the one I have has 2 long "legs" which go through the grille, at least an inch long. It's this item here; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266129152...mis&media=COPY I'll see what happens over the next few days, if I can I'll take photos. But I'm the worlds most impatient person when it comes to this and I tend to prefer giving the job to a garage

That looks like it's designed to just clip in. Is the single shorter protrusion some sort of release latch?

I tried a dry-fitting just now prior to going anywhere near it with clips, here's a video of it. I can't get it to settle into where I think it should go.
I'm trying it in this position because if you notice on the grille, the badge has two notches to help it locate, and the vertical black strip on the grille has a small raised notch likely used to locate it vertically. I just can't get it to sit right. Here's the video; https://youtu.be/4u_mRppsF-I?si=XCl5KtSnvnPvFndy
