So I was washing my car when i noticed this...



I wish I could believe it just fell off how ever it doesn't look like it and this sucks. I wasn't even in any dodgy areas yesterday!

Happened to me on my mk5 when it was frozen.
About £15 to replace I think.

I had my first one done by dan_apps on here who painted it for me because he has big man love for me. Then I went into the back of someone so f**ked it all up and the people that did my minor front repair just ordered a new one from VW and painted it for me as part of the repair. I thought it would be rude not to upgrade so I got a carbon front grille aswell, you can just about make it out in this pic.

I've been told its fairly easy to do yourself if you know what your doing.

[pic whore mode] I think the black badge on black car makes it look that little bit meaner [pic whore mode]

I painted my front badge black myself.
 
About £15 for the materials from halfords - pack of wet & dry, primer and the paint. :afro:

That sounds a lot, but I was buying the paint and primer for another job anyway... ...

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Arrived this morning, just got it now on way in from work. Will put it tomorrow afternoon and see how it goes :)



The T is a tiny bit wonkey but you cant notice it from a distance, and for £15 you cant go wrong. Ii it looks really bad (wonky T wise) then Ill just put the old one back on :)
