Title: German Flag Rear Badge ??
Post by: maxamus on 30 January 2008, 23:19
Hi,

I've seen a few GTI's (Non-UK) which have a german flag badge at the rear. Anyone know where to buy that?
Back looks a bit bland with just a "GTI" badge IMO.

I think it looks alright. As for it being german, well i drive a german designed and made GTI  :wink:
I find the MK5 rear a bit bland with just a "GTI" badge. Want to balance it by having a badge on the other side

Should have bought an Edition 30 and then you would have had a badge on both sides :rolleyes: :smug: :grin:

No no no.

If you really have to balance the rear out , remove the GTI badge. Much more tastefull than adding additional badges

The Japanese market Civic Type R comes with a Union Jack out of the factory to signify where it was manufactured.

I know of quite a few tuned cars in the U.S that have the German flag, don't really see it as an issue if you want to put one on it.

I wouldn't get a badge of any kind stuck on my car, but I don't think there's any problem these days with having a german flag stuck on a car.

It's increasingly rare for a german car to be built in germany (going that way with british cars too :-) ), so why not? (Taste aside of course).

Or hows about a 1.4 Badge and a Rabbit front kit not to mention hub caps and then put your "turbo" badge on so your car loses any resemblance at all to a GTI and then you can surprise all the mommies in their Renault Clios who think they faster than you  :evil:
















Or at least thats what they do in America....  :huh:









I'll leave now..  :embarassed:

I think it would be funny at first but then the styling of a gti is much better than the normal golfs imo

Also why make it look like youve downgraded your car :rolleyes:

why not turn it into a sleeper and disguise your car as something else, think of the shock value when you overtake something and it has this badge on the back.....

I was behind a Mondeo today (although.. not for long, i might add :wink:) it was an ST somert or other, it had about 5 badges all over it like that porche turbo one, "T" and god knows what else. i was like yeh OK, i think it's a turbo lolz

I saw a black Mk5 GTi the other day driven by some yoof who'd removed the GTi from the left, replaced it with Golf, and then added a mk4 GTi badge, with the red 'i' on the right.
Disasterous.

Not to mention the people I see with 'Golf' on one side and their name on the other side.

And the guy with a black mk5 who has stuck 'Golf' under the VW sign on his grill at the front

What would possess you to do this?


However I quite like the German badge.
The un-knowledgable might think its some super-special edition  :cool:
