GTi Caliper decals
« on: 08 May 2021, 10:48 »
Morning folks. Anyone got recommendations for a supplier of replacement GTi decals for my 2018 PP calipers please?

A few on eBay, but nothing really strikes me as being decent quality. I've seen you can get replacement face plates but at £60 a side I'm not wanting to go that route!

I will of course try VW next week, but I'm sure there will be better alternatives....

Thanks.

How about these?

https://www.badgeskins.com/store/p169/VW-MK77.5GTICaliperOverlay.html

There’ve been a number of forum members over the years who’ve bought badge overlays from Badgeskins and have been happy with the quality of their purchases.

They’re based in Canada, so receipt of goods will take longer than for a UK based company.

Try EZ Mods in the UK, they do a GTD cover but I'm sure it'll be easy to get a GTI one made up. I've used them before very good quality stuff.

I have seen the Badgeskins v EZ mods debate on here before. I have used EZ mods and they were first class quality and fast response. Support UK suppliers!

Cheers for the replies all.

I was looking at the EZ Mods website, but the only thing that is putting me off is that they look like a full decal that goes over the whole faceplate rather than just the GTi lettering. Or maybe I’m seeing it wrong?

Would definitely rather buy from a UK supplier.

Decals look good. Decent quality from what I can tell. However, as it’s been p###ing down since they arrived I’ve not had a chance to fit them!

Ok, so finally some decent weather. Spent all day yesterday, wheels off, painting the rusted disk hubs, and then put one calliper decal on after removing the faceplate. Went on a treat, looked really good, right up until  offering it back up to the calliper and the colour difference is just too far off.

I was always concerned this would be the case, and just wanted the GTi lettering, so I removed it and may look to see if you could cut the lettering out and use it that way.
