Down badging

[rockmonkey69]

Do many on here down badge their mk4?

I have a mk4 with a de-badged tailgate in poverty spec guise with the black rub strips, discreet tail pipe and thinking of down badging to a 1.4 from a polo. Obviously to deter chavs when I'm not in the mood and for the surprise factor when the mood takes me.

had a guy in a new 330d telling his pal to look at the 1.4 r32 replica when sitting at the lights the other night in my golf

There is really no downside to this idea. The thing is which badge is best to go for?

1.0 from Lupo
1.4 from Polo
Or 1.6 from Golf

I think the lowest badge on the mk4 was the 1.6, 1.4 badge is from a polo but most won't be aware of that, so a 1.0 badge would be alright as well, only the mk4 never came out with a 1.0 engine, again I'm not sure whether most non golf owners are aware of that

stick a tdi badge on it

Tdi has tuning potential whereas a 1.0 just oozes fail, I'm inclined to badge to a small na petrol lol

the 1.4 would be better as they done a 1.4

if you have an fmic sticking out the bumper it will defeat the purpose of down badging
