Thought it about time I posted some pictures of mine, I lasted about 3 weeks before the stickers had to come off.

So nice  :cool: especially with the exhaust!

Red looks great when polished up and goes great with the black wheels etc. Looks amazing.

Think it was the right decision to lose the decals. I think they are OK on the gray but not so much on the other colours. I would have preferred them to be just of colour from the car colour so only noticeable in certain lights/angles.

Cheers, very happy with it...I was having that exact conversation about the black on the grey, almost everyone I asked what they thought of the graphics didn't like them. with the black roof and black trim the graphics just felt too much.

Very nice.  :cool:

How did you manage to remove those honeycomb stickers? Or are they just two large stickers?

Thanks.

Looks good, and agree with @CookieMonsterGTI, much better without the side decals. Tornado Red with black wheels is a good combination.

Lovely TCR turnipandchips.
The black and red always a great combo :afro:

I also agree with CookieMonster about the decals and how much better they’d have looked being close to body colour, I’m sure they’d be far better received that way.

Individual stickers, I got a hairdryer on them to soften up the glue then peeled off quite easily, maybe an hour or so to get them all off.

Thank you, I kept an open mind when I got the car but they had to go, was always the main talking point when I showed people the new car. I'm 44 as well so did feel a little too midlife crisis. haha (all in my humble opinion of course).

The decals looked alright on the grey TCR they used for the promo shots.... on your TR they looked bloody terrible.

What did VW charge for that option? Wasn't it something like £500 - being the tight Yorkshireman that I am, I'd be grumbling with every one removed  :grin:

If you ever feel like you want to repeat the mistake, or anyone else that wants to upgrade their Golf Match, I just found this on Ebay:
