Black badges

[Mr GTD]

Not so sure it looks to good in the vid, only cus he's got a black car.....to much black in my opinion

But then on silver,white and red cars I think the black looks

Nice job Awry!!

Go for it Scott

[mkviken]

colour coded badges would look good on the silver i reckon. more matt or metallic silver then chrome would be very nice

i think it looks turd on white cars so all be leaving mine OEM

I've seen black badges on a black GTi and they looked good as part of the overall car's stealth look - Hasn't Hurdy's Polo GTi got the same - that's a beast of a car.
Just my opinion - I think on silver they don't have the same impact.

I've ordered a can of black so will see how it looks. 

I'm assuming I can apply the clear coat at a later date should I want to make it gloss.

Sorry maybe I'm old -fashioned but I don't like black badges or black alloy wheels.
 I think of them as the car's jewellry which should be bright to set the car off.

+1 on that

What he said 

As I've said on Jaker's thread, I ended up removing the rear badges and swapping the front for a Red Anniversary style badge which I picked up off of eBay for £3. I tried chrome on the rear and also red on the rear and neither really did it for me. I much prefer the clean look now.

As for the £3 eBay efforts, they are good while they last but after about 6 months I'd say they begin to corrode and the plastic red insert can lift off. But heck they're only £3 and hardly much of an effort to swap out for fresh one's once summer's back around.
