Post by: bobbarley on 19 February 2009, 20:51: That's a reeaaaally old picture :)

If you de-badge the car it's like you've something to hide. People see the GTI badge and think "oh aye, only a GTI, I'll have that". Then you can surprise them :)

That's the look I'm going for. I always thought MK4's were heavy and slow until I got one and R-tech'd it. I guess most on the road will see the gti badge and think it's a walkover :evil:
