Title: GTi Badge ripped off
Post by: SO8 on April 13, 2009, 07:08:08 pm
What is it with people .... went out to my Edition 30 earlier to notice the front GTi badge from the grill has been ripped off - leaving half the clip still in the grill and the other side of it's clip on the floor :Grrrr:

How much do they cost ?  Any ideas - I am assuming £15 'ish ?

Is it worth putting it back on or going for stealth ?  ('ish ... as it still has the red stripe round the grill)

Cars in for a service tomorrow but I bet they'll have to order the badge ..... the people that do this are a complete pain and need a good slap !  I just hope they haven't damaged the grill itself .....

Sorry to hear about that!

I thought the whole fad of VW front badge stealing died off in the 1970's-1980's !!!

Utter pr!cks!  :fighting:

yea, lost mine a couple of years back.  Cost under £10 but had to break one of the clips off for it to fit perfectly??

That's really annoying. That'd be enough for me to stealth the car (complete debadge except the VW one at the back, which could be done in black).
