LED Vw logo fitted on my 45
« on: 17 April 2025, 18:28 »
Hi,

Not posted in years fellas, sorry. I’ve activity taken myself off social media etc but had to post this.

I fitted a LED Vw emblem to my mk8 Clubsport 45 yesterday. Looks really good. If anyone is interested, I can post some instructions here.

Was it a difficult retrofit?

Not at all really. Took a while to figure out but easier than doing the R paddles if that helps

Very nice to see you back. Thought we had lost you forever.

Totally agree with that KingMonkey.  This is the best forum I've ever been on.  Genuine enthusiasm for all things GTI and always helpful without snardy comments which we can all do without.

I'll be sad to leave as I put down a deposit on a 2022 BMW M340d yesterday but I'll still pop in every now and then to see if my 4 years of Clubsport ownership can help someone else.  I'll probably spend more time here than any BMW forum as previous experience there has not been good.  It's good to have you back. Have you got any pics of the new LED?  I'm still interested!

I used to be a regular on a LR Discovery forum, absolutely terrible in terms of insults and politically opinionated drivel, this place is great👍

Good to see you’re still kicking about here Michele, and I really like the illuminated logo.
The mk8 front looks a bit gappy without the roundel lit up.
I saw a how to by an American owner some time ago, there was a bit of wire splicing involved.

BillSan, please do stay, and maybe you’ll return to VW ownership one day.
I’m a big fan of the BMW straight 6 Diesels. Lovely brawny power-plant.
I bet that one doesn’t sneak under the £40k VED though??

Sadly not Exonian. As a three year old car however someone else has paid most of it. I'll have to pay it for two more years and it's £610 this year. First time for me but seemingly we'll all be paying it very soon.

I love the LED badge King Monkey.  It looks especially great on your white GTI.  Could be a bit too much on a darker car, but each to their own.
