Anyone else not like the central GTI badge? Thinking of de-badging or moving it to where it 'should' be

I like it in the centre, it’s different.

This guy has moved it to the lower left, doesn't look any better imo. I removed mine and the door decals and have no regrets.

Yeah that might even look worse. Think I might remove it all together. On a side note, 450bhp through the front wheels? Not sure about that!

Removed mine as soon as I got it, along with the side ‘blades’ on the wings. Much prefer the less is more

That’s certainly a good shakedown!

Mine was (mostly) fine for two years, right up until they installed 1896

Today I’ve driven my CS 386 miles at an average of 40.4mpg. That takes it to 2227 miles in the last month alone..

Wow, I took delivery end of Oct 2022 and ive just ticked past 1700 miles!

Today I got the worn front pair of PS4S replaced with another shiny new pair.

The old ones were down to just under 3mm (18000 miles) but were worn more heavily on the inner shoulders due to the Clubby’s camber settings. It’s worth other owners keeping an eye on theirs.

TBH 18k from fronts seems pretty good - I normally expect 15k and they are knackered.
