Which grille badge?
« on: 24 September 2005, 13:38 »
I want to get a grille badge for my gt tdi 150. It's badged on the rear as GTI. It's a choice between silver GT badge or GTI badge or red TDI badge.
Am thinking red won't look good as car black and rear badges silver. and it's not a GTI so why put a GTI badge on?

Not sure whether to keep the rear GTI badge or change that to GT TDI or TDI.

What d'ya think???? :undecided:

I have often seen a few TDI's with GTI badges on them, was this how they came out of the factory?

I find this wrong as theyre not GTI's, what were VW thinking?

There is no shame in badging it as a TDI. I actually prefer driving the TDI's than the GTI's in the Mark 4, fair enuff i havnt driven a 20valve turbo yet so i might change my tune, but still tho, if its a TDI, badge it as a TDI.

I am not having a dig at you by the way debsie!

I've only known GT TDI 150's to be badged as GTI's. I would have preferred a TDI badge as the 2.0 GTI is slow although it's always good to be understated.
