Refitting S line wing badges emblems to 2011 Sportback

Hi, Can anyone please advise as I have recently bought a 2011 A5 SLine 2.0 TFSI Sportback but the previous owner fitted the incorrect badges to try and make it look like an S5. The boot was debaged apart from an S5 badge and the wings had supercharged badges on them. I have removed the wing badges and would like the correct position to replace them with the correct Sline emblems (distance to door gap and to the horizontal line if possible please) have trawled web but can't find the info.

Also I wanted to leave the boot debaged but unfortunately after carefully removing the fake S5 badge I found the previous owner wasn't as carefull when removing the original A5 badge and had marked and removed a small layer of paint so looks like I'll have to fit a new A5 badge to cover it up! Will it look odd with just an A5 or should I get 2.0T or TFSI on the other side? The only other thing would be to get the paint repaired but can't afford that option. Any advice on both of these questions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Jules

Hi Jules,

Did you have V8 badges on the wings? The S line ones go pretty much in the same position I think?

If it were me then yes I'd probably get an additional badge for the back as A5 on its own may look a little odd in my opinion.

Hi James, the car had badges which said 'supercharged' on them (attached photo) but I'd already removed them without thinking about measuring for the replacements. I could just guess or go off a photo but wanted to make sure the s line badges are placed correctly.

I will probably go for badges on each side of the boot as you suggested but now have another question to put out there, do you know whether the origional on the other side from the A5 should be 2.0T or TFSI badge?
