De-wipered and de-badged
« on: 01 February 2014, 23:05 »
Haven't always been a liker of no rear wiper or badges  :rolleyes: but as i got myself a decent condition tailgate which was badgeless i decided to remove the wiper also and see how it looked,now after a few days i really like how it looks even with a standard badge (which is staying) also like the rear spoiler which was the main reason for getting the tailgate also the glass has a slight tint too so that's another bonus  :smiley: well after sorting out both the wiring looms i got it fitted along with two vgc doorcards....
Took a few general pics today  :laugh:




then found another use for a badge off the old tailgate


still some jobs left to do though  :lipsrsealed:

Yes like removing those GTI badges seeing as what's under the bonnet is an insult to the icon  :whistle:

Surely getting nailed by cyclists all the time must mean you are in a big hurry to replace it  :tongue:
