After thinking about doing this since i had the car, and then seeing that Mr Mcavity (i didnt superglue mine on LOL)
had done it recently i thought i would do it first thing this morning :happy2:
i just stuck some wire on with Araldite glue, and then just twisted the wire till tight, i also used the sticky backing but this will have little effect as there no contact to speak of, hopefully the wire will hold it there a while :laugh:
Heres my wire bodge, ignore the mess lol, it wont be seen

haha, didnt know you had done it, how did you secure yours ?

^^^^^ Lets just say if they really want it they will get it off, but I've also considered the exposed adhesive at the back and that picking up all sorts during the worst of the weather :wink:

did you just use the stick backing ?
-
OK..Gonna look a tit now but what have you done???????
The mod has,nt been explained and I cant see where you stuck it anyway.
Gulf.. (ready for some stick)
-
Guys, why are you going to this length to fix the badge :-
Firstly they are £9
Secondly the backing tape will fix it to the grille
????????????????????????
Just stick it on - mine has been on the car 2 weeks after I bought it in June
Regards,
Gareth

do you have the edition 30 badge ?, the tape on mine wasnt holding it on its own, i guess its too cold, oh and its hardly alot of work,i basically just popped some glue on it ?
-
Looks so OEM, you wouldn't even question it!
Nice :happy2:
-
Normally i mock fellow R32 owners for playing the 'lets see how many times i can stick the word r32 to the car' game, but that looks good, as mentioned, very OEM :happy2:
-
....
I've said it befiore and I'll say it again - That is a superb mod and what VW should have done.
:happy2: 8) :happy2:

Decent, might be tempted to do a Pirelli version!
-
Good work Shaun :happy2:
Mine's on order now and will be on for the Pod :drinking:
-
:happy2: :happy2: :happy2:
Very nice!
-
Thanks chaps :-)
-
I'm torn between doing this mod and taking off the GTI badge from the grille.
Looking good mate!
-
you cant take the GTi badge off, just doesn't look right without it
-
8) 8)
Good work :D
-
you cant take the GTi badge off, just doesn't look right without it
....And not only does it look like something has been removed, but it's a badge you should be very proud of (IMO, but ETTO)

Yes, I did it in the first week of owning the car, I posted some pics on the other forum, Phil Mcavity saw it, posted here and now it seems quite popular with everyone !
-
Heritage is why the red stripe isn't lime green right now.
But I feel the 'GTI' is only great when the VW badge is silver. Doesn't as great otherwise. Might go down the ED30 route. How quick and easy was it to get the badge?

I have had my badge a while, but most dealers can order one and get it the next day, they were £7 odd plus vat, buy now there £9 odd plus vat
Ps, I too think the silver VW badge is needed
-
Ordered mine yesterday for just under a £10 and where was 8 left in VW central stock :happy2:
-
I've got one thing to say to the red badge haters :P

I've got one thing to say to the red badge haters :P
?, do you have a red VW sign now ? , the poster means the VW not the GTI ?, i think anyway, i deffintaley meant the VW badge anyway LOL, i do prefer the GTI in the silver /red combo
-
Ok, my bad.
I've got one thing to say to the black badge haters :P :grin:
-
The badges look very good :happy2: I am glad you ED30 boys are going down this route to make your car look different to the superior original MKV GTI. :P :P :P :P

bloody hell NO, im not that old :signLOL:

^^^^
Oi!! Hurdy is nowhere near as old (and wise) as I am!
If the Ed30 had been available in 2005 when I ordered my GTI, I'd have definitely had one. But I'm totally happy with what I've got (because I'm a wise elder) :grin:

i ve had mine on ages and i only used the sticky that was on the badge , its still solid :happy2:
