Title: VW CF Badge
Post by: Ifti on May 22, 2009, 12:50:43 pm: I missed out on the group buy of these front badges a while ago.

There was another thread here where someone wrapped his front badge in sticky back CF - but I cant find the thread any more!
Anyone have a link to it?

Im thinking of wrapping my front badge.......any pro's/cons?

The likes of Raccoon and other auto graphics companies will either stock it or can get hold of it.
