Red badges..

I don't mind them, but I'm glad they're not on my TR PP car - too much red.  Works on other colours though!

I'm very happy with the silver badges on my RF PP. It's sublime, not too flashy.

Red badges work brilliantly well on Limestone

I don't like it at all. Screams of Halfords cheap stick on badge modification to me. Much prefer the silver badges. 

That was my first thought

Of course styling is subjective and to personal preference but just think that you have to resist to change something just for sake of really

The appeal of the GTI is the understated and classy way it presents it's sporting abilities inside and out opposed to some of its in your face competitors

Silver badges are simple and classy and not something I would be tempted to and in fact would likely dislike if the PP meant I had to have them

Personal preference of course 

Out for a nice long run in mine now for an idyllic pub garden lunch

Definitely prefer the silver to the red. Just looks more classy

I think it depends what colour they're against... Work really well on limestone..

Im just getting old but back in the day Peugeot had the red Gti badges, red carpets, flashy boy racer styling and gimics.
Were as VW stayed with timeless classic upmarket looks including siliver GTI badges. SEAT also used the red GTI badges on the ibizas. I personally am not really liking the direction I think VW seem to slowly be taking the iconic GTI brand.

Personally I like the red badges, like the old 16v in my youth, marks it out as being different and ever so subtle on a red car.

Has anyone seen the red badges on a Carbon Grey car yet? Mine should arrive in July and at the moment I am not entirely convinced by them. The silver looks far more restrained - how easy do you think it would be to swap from red to silver? I can understand that VW might want to differentiate between the standard GTI and the PP equipped versions but surely the GTI markings on the brakes are enough and still fairly subtle.

I want them - where can I get them from??!!
