I had both on mine, I did think debadged was better but a black grill badge can look as good.

In my Dub Rides thread, you'll find me debating with myself and others over about 20 pages of whether to keep the debadged look or not, in the end I chose not too as from certain angles it looked pretty gay.


It can look really mean and aggressive when looking at it dead on, but most other angles it looks like a poncy girl lol! Keep the badge, and black all indicators and badges.

I agree with shady it only looks good when looking straight at it, other angles it just looks odd! Id keep it as vw intended!

I brought mine debadged, but seeing as I have no rear or side badges, I have left the debadged front grill on :)

keep the badge :wink: be proud its not a citroen :evil:

lol yeah think ill keep the badge like you say it aint like i got to hide the fact its a sh!troen or any thing lol pluss keeping the bages means it will be more standard so when comming to selling it again in future it will sell better if more standard. 

dunno about blacking my badges tho, im planing on keeping all my lights clear and think the silver badges suit the clear lights if had black lights id defo black the badges.

I got bored and took most of the nice bits off and sold it back in Jan to someone on here, not sure if he still has it, I then ran a BMW 5 series for 9 weeks then also sold that, god only knows what to get next.

I go for the partially de-badged look. Have kept the VW and Golf badges to retain the car's basic identity, but removed the GTI and 16V ones; people can find that bit out the hard way! :evil:

Um, no not really. Is this something you've had problems with? You may have hit on a serious de-badging issue here; the people need to be told!
