My Gti did was built with the silver badging front and rear as already mentioned in thread this is the norm for non PP GTI's although I personally wanted red to contrast the carbon grey so my dealer offered to swap them before I collected my car..

Personal preference only but I do like them  :whistle: but I'm bias lol  :grin:

Thanks all some very valid points there and worth double checking not just going on the badge.

Those centre red VW badges look good I like them, How does the GTI compare to the Scirocco? any regrets in changing? anything you miss etc?

My gti pp Aug 15 model has red grill & silver rear badge which VW have confiied to me is the official designation on both gti & gti PP from may15 prior to that PP models had red badges !
To confirm, all pp gti's have red badges front and rear

Ok, to edit my last post, all original pp gti's have red badges  :wink:
All that red badges front and rear confirm is that it has red badges front and rear  :grin:
Not being a smart arse or anything but quite a few folk on here without PP have swapped their badges to red.
And I could be wrong but I think I have read on here that someone with PP changed their rear red badge back to silver as it clashed with the red paint.

Does it go any faster now you have the red badges  :grin:
On a more serious note you talk about the red contrast against the grey. I personally like contrast that's why I went for white . Never thought I would buy a white car but it's the contrast against the black trim and red calliper badges etc that sets the car off. Hardest choice choosing a colour. I do like the carbon grey and red to.

@ gtiaps Red on Carbon looks really good! What VW emblems have you used. Are they replacements or vinyl stickers?

Thinking more red on Tungsten might be good.  :cool:

Hi Talk- Torque

Thanks for the comments...The Vw's are replacement emblems cost was about 45 quid ish may seem alot to some but better than a decal that could come off I think  :whistle:

Each to their own but I'm not a fan of the red VW emblem.
It cheapens it somehow but I'm sure it looks much better in the flesh.

Agreed with the VW badge itself - cheap looking.
