that is the question.. so help me answer it.. (i'm very tempted) - getting smoked lights all round later next week :grin:
What u reckon then? also where is the best place 2 get em?
-
keep the badges mate
i used to make 3 bar badgeless grilles for r and a design about 10 years ago.
they were badgeless. i was sick of them in the end. manky things!!!
but anyway the chrome vw badge on the front grille on a mk1 looks dope
and the rear badges just look cool!!!
wear em with pride!
-
keep the badges!!
-
get rid, get rid!! it depends what look your after, i think the front of mine looks sweet without the badge! but then again i have had the side repeaters removed and will be getting the tailgate smoothed too! :smiley:
-
I've always taken them off the front of all my dubs (mk1, mk2, corrado and now the cab) as I think it helps clean up the front end and makes them look wider - I'll be leaving them on the back of my Riave though as I will put it back to standard when the time comes to sell her on :D
-
i like them on, but on some cars they look better off, maybe with the colour of yours de-badged may be better?! post a pic and try a photoshop, if you need help e-mail me pics, im available on msn and i can do it quickly for you on there!
-
Debadge the rear hatch but leave the standard front grille, just spray the badge black. Next step t cross hers and youve got a mean badgeless GTi
:)
-
although, as we say around here, if you like it then do it! if you like max power car mats, then do it, lol just expect to be laughed at?!?
-
you need to think about what look you want the car to be - clean all around (remove badges and chrome) or do you go the classic look with a clean look - all badges off expect the front grill one, or go all badges standard and go bling bling as well with chrome.....
I've tried various set ups and to be honest I liked them all, but ended up with classic mk1 look with smoothed off badges, other than the front grill sign.... have a look at some of the show pictures to give you more idea's of the finished results....
-
i have a debadged grill but with a aniverary gti badge fitted at the front, rear will be smooth but i like all the chrome so i fitted this (car had it removed when i bought it)

I personally think she'd look better, already she has had all the trim removed, filled & smoothed, aerial removed, filled & smoothed, rear is debadged completely, filled & smoothed boot..
the only badge is the VW badge at the front.. think i'll debage her.. Han could u photoshop me these picz debadged please:

dude the 5 bar grills are only about 35 quid, if you dont like it - ebay it! lol oh and get some smoked head lights and indicators, think it would look good with that colour! :wink:
-

-
Sure.. (it's not delocked by the way)

whats the body work like under the bumpers? if its mint then dump those bumpers and get some small ones, think it would look sweet as with chrome ones! :cool:
-
Yeh would look sweet, but i'm a student so cash flow is a problem running a mk1 and doing a degree! - As for the condition the current bumpers have scratched some of the bodywork underneith. I'm trying to save up so I can get some chrome bumpers and have the scratches caused by the big bumpers removed at the same time.
(it's not bad - just not perfect ;) )
