Title: Gloss black VW badge
Post by: -Oli- on 13 February 2013, 22:09
What do you think?  Ive always changed them on my previous Golfs, but haven't really thought about it on the ED35.  Anyone done it and got pics?  And where to get a good one from?

Many thanks in advance :smiley:

Got mine from Parts4euro

http://www.parts4euro.com/DCShop/product_info.php?cPath=1_462_470&products_id=2012&osCsid=16ee94b0cf29dfc49328f26941214ae3

Make sure you select gloss at the bottom of the page (+$5)

As they come from the supplier. Decent quality too.

What's everyone's thoughts on the rear badge, should I leave the background black or do it red  :rolleyes:

Black on Black ?

        Or

Black on Red ?

i actually like the black background, i need Oli to get his on so I can see what they look like with carbon grey

i normally hate chrome badges but actually like them on GTIs

Think the red background will look better, Black on black may look like a big hole in the boot from a distance  :undecided:

Took about 20 mins to do, removed the grill (4 screws on the top) unclip the rear of the badge unclip chrome badge, clip in new badge and screw grill back on, easy peasy  :smiley:

My badges have now arrived.  Quality isn't amazing to be fair, they look like they've been sprayed - not that you'll notice once fitted. I will try and fit them tomorrow and get some pictures

I fitted a set of these some months ago, and tried the red/black badge they sell/used to sell.
The red is not as dark as Tornado Rad and it looked awful.
I suspect on a different coloured car, it may have looked OK.
