My Steel Grey GT Sport 170 DPF

Ok well time for an update - after several variations of what i was going to do with the grills on the front end and mixtures of ED30 fog grills and then standard GT ones and then open GTi ones, i saw a gtil grill come up for sale with a dark blue strip which was nice as its a little different so here is a the pic below which shows it. so i thought i would keep them all GTI for the moment lol until i change my mind again.



No other real updates as i had it back in VW for over a week for a warranty issue some glow plug fault threw up the engine management light so they gave me a ghastly MK7 1.2 TSI thing to drive in the meantime lol still it was free

Private plate will be going on shortly as i got the log book in the post yesterday so i ordered some nice UK legal metal pressed ones (making sure they were also reflective)

Only issue i have now is that i wanted to remove the GTI badge but it had an awful holder thing as part of the grill at the back which you would have been able to see, therefore i decided to remove the 'I' from the GTI and replace it with a D, however this appears to be slightly more difficult as i have to buy a GTD badge just to use the D which seems a waste and at over £30 silly so now i am throwing it out there for some assistance or opinions as to what you would do.

Before everyone screams DREMEL i dont have one and dont really want to buy one as i am now saving for side skirts and wheels and coilovers lol

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

L5 TUW:
Anyone ?? Lol

Dave7692:
A MK6 GTD badge should fit straight into the holder of the GTI badge as I think the clips are the same.

Also I like the blue line, I'm going to do that to mine soon.

L5 TUW:
Thanks Dave. I couldn't get the Poxy badge to unclip from the holder though ha ha. But I think keeping it kind of standard with gtd at the front is the way to go. I just don't want to force off the old one and break the holder. I am not fussed about breaking the old badge. I see it has three clips but they all seem to be really tight

Shoduchi:
I have the front and rear GTD badges from the Mk6. The front one fits perfectly in the GTI grill. You can easily remove the grill to help removing the GT badge.

Cheers

PS: Great engine you've got there. ;)
