  • Back in a Mk4
After recent events I've really been thinking about chopping the Mk4 in for another Mk3...however I'm going to persevere for a bit longer. I'm going to save hard for some nice coilovers & I think once the car is lower it will make a massive difference to how it looks.

I'll let the Carbon boys work their magic during half term week and hopefully it'll be back to full power. I'm expecting a boost leak tbh, so silicone hoses will be ordered if that is the diagnosis.

In the mean time the rear badge has been bugging me a little, I didn't really like it sprayed black & talking to a few others it was obviously letting the rear of the car down. I was going to upgrade to a Sharan badge but cannot justify spending £25 on a badge at the moment. I had some spare carbon wrap lying around and after speaking to Will (Billabong) at the RR day yesterday I decided to try and wrap the badge:



Quite happy with how it turned out & think it looks better than it did painted:





Compared to:





Am thinking about doing the same with 'Golf' & 'Gti' now :undecided:

welcome to mk4 ownership, the first of many and many faults...... :lipsrsealed: :grin: :cry:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Thats definitely going to happen in the future :wink:

So do you think it's worth carbon wrapping the other 2 badges on the boot as well?
