Title: debadging front
Post by: gtimadmike on 23 September 2014, 07:00
I have seen some gti mk4 with the badge removed and it looks great the only issue I am having is some of them have been made  to be straight and not have a semi circle cut out look on the bonnet where the badge used to be. How do you get round that problem as I wouldn't want that semi circle cut out

Either have to get a bodyshop to fill over that recess - or, ages ago you used to get debadged grilles that came with an insert for that cut out space.

Nope better to get a plate welded in then skim with filler.
