Title: Clubsport stripe as it should have been
Post by: Acegadget on 28 June 2021, 23:47: Ok over the past 2 weeks I have been working with a company to finish the stripe on the CS.
I have never liked the fact there are no Clubsport markings so have worked on a mk7/8 hybrid.
So adding the Clubsport at the back but angled in matching the front. We have even managed to get the correct vinyl, we hope.
Anyway hopefully mine gets fitted next week and will post pictures and will be available via me for £100 the pair.
Seems expensive but it’s a damn site less than what I have paid out to get it designed.

Alternatively was thinking of getting the existing ones removed as it looks so unfinished.

Also plan to do the back half of the roof, but will leave the wing mirrors body coloured.

Post by: carbon337 on 29 June 2021, 08:46: There's someone on instagram called tldesign.offenburg who has also done some and can be seen on dlhj1.mk8.gti.clubsport posts, however theirs look a bit weird as the fade on the font door doesnt match into rear door.

Interested to see your pics.

Post by: Acegadget on 29 June 2021, 08:59: Looks like the wrong finish on the vinyl as well. These will look factory.
We did think about changing the fact the Clubsport is up high as it would look better but I want it to look like VW did it.

You should’ve put a post up asking for help. I could have sorted the design and artwork out for nowt!

Look forward to seeing them. Did you consider having just the clubsport (in a reverse italic) writing in place of a full sticker? eg the grey paint in the sticker below:

Nope had to look as if it was designed at the factory so back is exactly as MK7 but the have angled the front ands added another angled stripe so it merges in correctly
Title: Re: Clubsport stripe as it should have been
Post by: Kenis on 03 July 2021, 15:41: I’m sure there was a picture on here somewhere of a clubsport that had had the side decals completely removed, be good to see that if someone can find, plus the standard, plus these new designs.

I’m wondering if just keeping the very first sticker nearest the wheel and removing the rest will be the smartest look, even if the colour doesn’t actually match the front plastic grill. Might be too small for discreet CS lettering on top.

Got a long wait for mine so too early to commit I think and first mods I plan are paddles and roof wrap.

Had similar thoughts about that, but ended up using the large decal

Thanks mate. Been worth the trips back and forwards to get it right. Wanted it to be as close to the MK7 version as possible but blending into the MK8.

Main thing is it is the exact same material as front stripe.

I have 2 sets but can get more £100 a set inc P&P

Title: Re: Clubsport stripe as it should have been
Post by: Acegadget on 08 July 2021, 15:31: Foxy, I would remove it and replace it with the same thing but in Anthrecite or Silver?

I reckon it would look really smart and unique.

They look great and it’s awesome the material/ colour matches perfectly.

The only feedback I have is maybe having the Clubsport lettering more central on the black background? I get why it’s at the top as that’s how the MK7 Clubsport had the decal, however on the MK8 the black background is taller (at least from the photos)

Pretty much how the lettering has been done here. Sorry if I make no sense

Post by: JoeGTI on 10 July 2021, 00:29: I think they look good and I’d be interested- if / when my car arrives :grin:

Are they a DIY job? How hard can it be right… but mess it up and I guess it’s 100 quid of ballsed up stickers in the bin.
Title: Re: Clubsport stripe as it should have been
Post by: M6TT F on 10 July 2021, 07:36: Been out of action with Covid, so just catching up! Not a pleasant experience!

The extension of the stripe works really nicely, and the spacing looks spot on. If I had gone down this route, I’d have aimed for exactly that. I would have moved the clubsport graphic down though, for balance. Your solution looks great, and is true to the MK7. But the MK7 creaseline didn’t increase in depth as much as it goes from front to back, like on the Mk8. So the graphic isn’t as vertically off centre.

Still looks good though. Nice job 👍🏻
Title: Re: Clubsport stripe as it should have been
Post by: Acegadget on 10 July 2021, 09:45: Cheers guys and see your points

Anymore going forward I could have it modified.

As for a diy job yes as long as you line up the back first.

Only bit I couldn’t have done is they put copper string under the strip to cut it exact with door

I think these look good. Will you be making more / future batches? I had contemplated removing but the decals in their entirety, but this could be a better solution. Thanks

I have 2 lots in my garage one reserved for my mate who has one coming so could send the other to you.

Interested if the writing can be in the middle as opposed to at the top
