Fcuk off fast car, don't mess boyo in your Uno with bucket seats and 3 point harnesses!

- VR6 for short.

Yeh its where the GTI is near the rear arch, smaller and slanted more on later models that don't feature wheel arch trim.

My '96 has no markings on the side trim at all. All the better at the traffic light GP ;D

All early Vr's have VR6 logo on trim near back wheel i.e. models with plastic arches. Later High-Line models have cl side trims and no arches or badge and are body coloured.Vw do a blanking plate to cover holes that badge fits into as there are a few badges available eg. GT and Colour Concept too. A lot of people mod the early model by using cl side trims and de arching but this is quite expensive! Hope this helps. :D
