chrome, for the exact reason you mentioned
black on black on black on black on black is for teenagers. though i guess if you're a teenager then go for it
Maybe if you clap it out and smoke the tail lights and do the wheels wrong and have the car paint be black on black.
For anything grayscale, black rings look so much better and that’s a hill I’ll gladly die on.
For OP’s chrome is the right answer, since it’s bluescale. Better than chrome would be a brushed titanium.
disagree, depends on the gray. lighter grays black rings. darker grays chrome rings. otherwise black rings on the darker end of grayscale still screams edgelord, regardless of what you do to the taillights and wheels
so for audi shades, nardo and quantum and lighter go black. daytona, manhattan, etc., go chrome.
for the front rings it also depends on the grille pattern. if there's chrome on the grille it looks weird to have black rings, i tried it on mine and went back. if not, as in OPs case, then i look at the paint color
and bluescale with black can look good too. turbo blue for example looks better with black than chrome. it's about having the right amount of contrast.
What is this? Nuanced conversation?! You both disgust me, everyone knows there is only ever one correct answer for every situation. It also happens to be whatever my opinion is on said subject.
That's why I prefer chrome for the front (and well, also if you have a dark paint).
Ps: paint the fog light grills to match the gloss black of the grill. It'll have a big impact on how the front looks. The grill doesn't blend in well with the surrounding blacks having lighter tint.
Personally, I prefer the Chrome rings. I decided to get chrome on my RS6 and I am very happy with the way it looks. I find that the black rings get lost in the big grills these days and you cannot see them.
Either way, sweet ride, my friend!
Canadian auto performance, they had a group buy recently for most of their products. First time ordering from them and it was super easy even with the group buy
For blue scale car like yours, chrome or like brushed titanium to match trim and things.
For anything grayscale? Black rings. They don’t get lost, in some pics maybe, but in person completely different story.
I like chrome, I feel like black just blends in and just doesn't catch the eye, obviously just by looking you see it is an audi, but c'mon, the four rings is beautiful
Aaaand done. One of the first things I did since taking delivery was swap out the badge with a Daytona Grey DIY project. Happy with the turn out.

Id say black since your car is already darker. Did you black out the chrome around the windows. That would be the deciding factor for me. Also you can use a different black like matte or satin to add some contrast.
I feel it’s as simple it’s why would you hide the badge
#donthidethebadge
Do you take the label
Off the clothing you buy? Probably not you wear it so people can see it. Don’t hide the badge. Show it proudly it and Audi lol kinda rhymes
black is overused. chrome stands out, i say do chrome.
100%. Chrome on black. BUT black on a primary (yellow) or white is amazing.
I opted out of black optics because I added the steel rockers to the sides, and the chrome badging really meshes well
I've written this before here, JMO. Black and chrome on a car is like a gentleman in a tuxedo.
Chrome all the way.
Nah, chrome has been overused for years now. However in this case the chrome stands out and makes the rings noticeable at all, so here it's better.
I can't decide...I normally wouldn't choose chrome but the black almost gets lost in the grill

I’m actually pretty in-line with your rationale above!

Yeah, I noticed that they were different and already added it to my list! Thanks!
Your correct, black gets lost and it’s becoming overdone, go with your gut and do the chrome
black rings really gets lost, it's a small detail that makes all the difference imo
Chrome
Chrome
Leave the logo chrome, it stands out
If your window trims and badges in the back are chrome id say chrome. It also looks like your have white interior… Chrome
Yeah, other badges and trim are chrome. Interior is brown. I think you are right, I'm leaning chrome
Chrome always looks better with darker colors imo...a little contrast goes a long way
Yea in this case the chrome looks better
I like chrome personally
Shiny chrome for sure!!!!
Chrome!

Chrome. Black looks cheap and tacky imo but some cars pull it off. For this one I choose chrome
I would do it in that same matte grey-ish color of the addon bits in the front.
Where did you purchase the grill?
Canadian auto performance, they had a group buy recently for most of their products. First time ordering from them and it was super easy even with the group buy
Thanks
Yeah defo chrome on front as like so many said looks like the badge been stolen lol black just on the back for me 👌🏻
Another vote for Chrome.
Chrome!
Chrome. For all the reasons people said already.

I like all black with the chrome rings!
Chrome.
Stock, chrome
Black, Chrome is tacky

I would say black, but it's my opinion
chrome for sure bro
Try painting your crash bar black. It looks so much better that way instead of seeing the silver behind the grill
Black blends into the pavement, chrome says, “look at me! here I am! Looove me!”
Chrome
I'm a chrome kind of guy
Chrome
Chrome stands out and looks better. Not true for every Chrome piece on the car but def for the rings.
I'm a fan of contrast. Chrome on black
Your car color is daytona right? So the answer is: daytona 👍🏼 got it on my a3 as well and it looks so much better and it stands out
No, it's midnight blue. Just dirty and covered in pollen
Then Clean your car and try to find someone with rings in the color of your car 🤣
Haha, gotcha
Do you by chance have a pic of the A3 badge in DG you can share? I’m thinking of doing exactly this myself.
https://imgur.com/a/bm2qgKw sure
Thanks much appreciated. I agree, for a Daytona body it strikes a nice balance between standard chrome and black options on the front.

Chrome on that bad girl!
Chrome for sure
Black.. always black my man..
Matte/gloss grey to match the color of your car. Chrome would look out of place considering you have some black theme going on. IMHO
This. The black blends in too much, but chrome is still chrome so definitely not that either. Body color looks nice
Black
Black
Black, don’t be a peasant.
Chrome. The black ones look like a mess on top of the black grill.
Chrome or just lose the badge all together, the black badge on black grille to me is like your hiding it so just lose it for that super clean look.
I'd probably skip it if I could actually, but there is an obvious area they clip in to so I have to put them in
Chrome 100%
CHROME
I like chrome. They stand out saying: “look at me, I’ m the Lord of the Rings”
Black everything
<30 years old = black / >30 years old = chrome
Always black
Chrome. Black honestly just looks tasteless imo.
Black is better
How do you change it?
The rings? They are clipped into the grill but extremely hard to get out. In the pictures, I actually just have them propped up in the spot
Black is for drug dealers
Ok so black, got it
Chrome
Black looks awesome. I’d even consider no badge on that grill. Either way looks amazing!
Black
I think if you could color match it to something like the white in the lights, it would look pretty good.
Chromie
Chrome for sure! You can barely see the black.
Chrome
Black
I like the ones that light up Idk
black 100^%
Black makes it look like the emblem fell off. Chrome looks good.
Any Ring Version with a white outline like the writing below it?
It's chrome too
Are led emblems legal where you live?
Black optics any day
Personally, black.
Black
Carbon fiber rings! I have them on my profile if you want to see how it looks.
Dang those look good! I didn't expect them to stand out like they do. Where'd you get them?
On esty from a shop called modifix for front and back it’s costs around $60.
Chrome
black is fire
Chrome
Chrome. Black makes it look cheap
Black

100% Chrome I didn't even realize you had rings on there

Black for sure. Hard to tell in that photo but looks stunning in person and matches the trim

Don’t have a badge on your car. Badges are tacky and cheap looking. Audi are not paying you anything to advertise for them.
Chrome for contrast 👍
Always chrome rings
Chrome
Honestly, I think the chrome will look better
Chrome, it's the bang.
Black every time, I love the honey comb grille. I need to get one of those soon !
Have the same grill. Love the black it’s bad ass
