Did you make them yourself M6TT?
As I said previously they do look well executed and indeed very OEM and should prove quite a popular mod.
They certainly work well with the paint colour.

Interesting to see the differing views on the side decals in general, always the beauty of forums.

I’m another who would love to see more pics of the car with them on.





Michele, you were too slow copyrighting your idea!  :grin:

I can’t speak about it Andy. It’s in the hands of my legal team.  :grin:

Some side on pics. As you can see, very subtle. Could go white if you wanted them to stand out a little more

Well I really like that. A subtle but worthwhile mod imo. I'd be tempted to extend the decal in some form to the rear doors too like the Ed40. Thanks for the photos!

As an aside, would you have to inform your insurance with this mod? What a mood killer I am!

Cheers, yes pleased with it. I'm gonna say no - it's not like you're trying to pass it off as anything other than what it is

regarding informing insurance of any mod done to the car question. here in Germany we do not need to inform the insurance of any modification to the car and insurance price remain the same irrespective of your modification as long as it is approval by TÜV Certification to be used on the car.
it is the responsibility of the modification supplier to get TÜV Certification approval for a performance product they are selling. the user only need to have the document supply by the seller indication the part is got TÜV Certification to be used on the car.

for example if i decided to buy a 19" rim on my original 18" GTi i need to check that it is approved to be used on my car and carried the documents with me. all item like lowering springs, racechip e.t.c  have to get the TÜV Certification to be used on the car and without the TÜV Certification from the supplier most workshop will not install the parts on your car. even window tint need to have the TÜV Certification approval. any modification that is not done from the factory need to have TÜV Certification from the manufacturer 

if say i like a modification that is not certified for use on my car  e.g a rim from USA i can still buy then take it to the TÜV Certification test center to get approval that it is safe for use on the car.

wow! that sounds organised.... Germans organised.... there is a surprise!!! haha

Its a total nightmare here - literally anything could be considered a mod, or might be if you have a claim and they try not to pay out.

Some insurers here consider "mods" as factory fitted items even! Optional 19's? Mod, more money please.

Sounds great from a safety perspective, but how do they address the increased risk of your car being vandalised or nicked?  :undecided:

That looks really good M6TT, I’m impressed. Simple but effective, didn’t realise it was a transfer over the original sticker in post #1 owing to how well the colours match. I assumed it was a replacement sticker with the graphic logo cut out.
Being as it’s so cheap I might try a white one myself :afro:

The sides look nice and clean with the GTI blades removed btw.
