Post by: Greeners on July 09, 2009, 01:14:59 pm: I say leave as is as I think the GTI should wear the GTI badge at the front. The rear looks better without IMO! :happy2:

I know what part your talking about, when i changed my gti silver letters to the ones i have now with red outline i could'nt get the plastic bit off so i heated up letters and then peeled them off and replaced letters...

I know that once i can get that plastic bit on the front off, there is the back part that is part of honeycoombe that i would have to some how cut out.. anyone know i cheap good tool i could buy to do that.. :happy2:

i can see where your coming from but i think it would make it look quite stealth, and i think with out it people would still know its a gti (especially when i put my foot down :signLOL:)
Title: Re: Debadge gti Lettering on front grill: Yah or Nah?
Post by: JPC on July 09, 2009, 02:24:04 pm: my opinion would be to leave it.

i can see the idea behind removing it, cleaner looking etc.

but in practise is just leaves the car looking like "who stole my GTI badge?"
Title: Re: Debadge gti Lettering on front grill: Yah or Nah?
Post by: WILLZIE on July 09, 2009, 09:21:20 pm: Leave it on!!! :nerd:
Title: Re: Debadge gti Lettering on front grill: Yah or Nah?
Post by: Rich on July 09, 2009, 09:29:32 pm: I like the GTi badge... it lets people know you've got the real deal golf....

Take it off and you leave people wondering whether its a GTi or not....

And you aint gonna be putting ur foot down all the time :grin:

Depends how you are... for style... it prolly does look better off.... but its nice to show off the GTi badge right ? 8)
Title: Re: Debadge gti Lettering on front grill: Yah or Nah?
Post by: scarpicus on July 09, 2009, 10:16:32 pm: Lots of good pro's and Con's from you lot :grouphug:
and an so after a days consideration :grin: i'l probably leave GTI on.... BUT I'M KEEPING SPLITTER ALL RED :angry015: :signLOL:
Title: Re: Debadge gti Lettering on front grill: Yah or Nah?
Post by: VC on July 09, 2009, 10:18:13 pm: good man :happy2:
Title: Re: Debadge gti Lettering on front grill: Yah or Nah?
Post by: stealthwolf on July 09, 2009, 10:39:26 pm: I'd say yay - remove it. On a car like that, it works better without it.

And definitely get the lower splitter section in black.
