....That satin black looks a great match with the black nose mask. Looks great!

I would live with the silver GTI badge for a while before deciding, but my thoughts are to leave it silver most likely. Otherwise, where do you stop!? :laugh:

did you take the VW silver bit off the plastic bit to do it? or spray the whole thing?

NO point just rubbed it down with some 800grit wet and dry to get rid of the shine and then did one coat and used hair dryer to dry and then another and job done  :smiley:

quick photoshop of it with a red badge



maybe a darker red

I'd use the same red as that of the red lipstick around the grill

I've just purchased a silver GTi and would love to fit a black VW badge to the grill.

However as I'm not particularly practical now that DIY paintiing would not produce good results for me.

Does anyone know anywhere I can purchase a pre-painted black or carbon fibre badge?

Thanks

you cant get a prepainted one unless someone sells theirs on ebay or somin, the CF ones are in USA i think and cost a bomb!

just paint it. scrup down with some wet and dry, and spray a few layers.. done
