That was my believe since I remember and reason why I removed the S8 badge from my new S8 grill
When I woke up thismorning and looked at them again there was no way I would put them on.
I think it was act of desperation during frustration level being well up.

Great definition by the way Snap
It could be a great bumper sticker which you stick secretly on this sort of cars, how funny would that be?

I've seen a diesel A8 some time ago with tailpipes pointing down and S8 badge at the rear

Or don't you just love the 3 series on 16'' wheels with M3 emblems everywhere...

Was thinking today about getting the start shape caps, I know they are bright grey, but it could work.
The only chrome/silver caps I found on ebay and aliexpress are the rs, s and abt ones

All Star shape caps fit only wheels with 55mm holes not 58mm like in most wheels. I assume as it's a new style of center cap so the hole was reduced in never wheels
