vw badge (sorry!)

[Russ.C]

was going to have a crack at doing mine at the weekend, but not so sure it will look as good on a black GTI as it does on the lighter colours - especially white  Anyone got a pic of a black GTI with black badge!? ta

Here is mine newly modded. Its a crap picture. Will take some better ones soon!
I think the car looks much much better!

Looks crackin that maxamus! definately be having a go at mine, hope I don't cock it up!!

Some better pictures for you guys.

Just took the car out then to take these pictures at a quiet location and traffic was busy. I alot of people were staring at it. It certainly draws more attention now!
I didnt think it would suit a black car but it looks tidy!

Looks really great with dimmers and foggys on aswell. It really draws the attention to the red lipstick and GTI badge more now.






joesgti:  I paid £13 at my local dealer for the front badge.
Russ.C: You have to twist the original badge to the left to take it out. Its a pain and i broke the clips of mine. However, the new one was easy to put in - it just clips in.
Im not really bothered about snapping the clips of the original badge as i wount be using it anymore and if i ever do need it again its just a £13 so nothing to worry about.

The rear VW badge will be alot harder to do as its not like the front. Its all one concave piece. Im leaving it for the time being.

looks FAT

Haha, If enough of us do it maybe VW will see this and make the mk6 badge black

....It looks even better on a black car than I thought it would - Very distinctive - Still says "VW" but looks meaner. As said before, some of the earlier Mk GTI's had black badges - It's a Golf GTI tradition!!

Could this be the start of something??, hopefully it still looks as good when the paint weathers abit.
Im not so sure?. Red GTi badge would look good i think, but im a chrom luver i have to admit.

I dont think a red badge would look that good. I think with the red lipstick around the grill and a red badge would be red overload. I think black looks better because still stands out but does not take away from the original features of the grill (the red lipstick and gti chrome badge).

I had a proper look at mine this morning and it certainly makes the front end of the car more chunky and sporty looking. Now the red lipstick around the grill stands out alot more which is a good i think as it makes the GTI alot more noticable from a distance and it certainly attracts more attention.

And, i wouldnt go for a really dark shade of black. I went for a really dark shade of grey (as shade as grill). I think a really dark grey or eveb jet black would not look so good as then the VW would not be as clear and just make it look like a big black circle in the grill.
