Cheers, yeah ordered those covers from Fischers Motorsports (I think thats what their called!) as recommended by RedRobin. Then its just two screws on each side. I think you can get them from UK dealers too.  :smiley:

Thanks mate - I think thats my next mod...slippery slope, here I come!  :evil:

...Changing to 'open' vents is another of those small but effective mods which doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's still a slippery slope though! :evil:

Carrying on with the theme of blackening the badge, what do you think of this little extra mod.

That looks quite cool.  :cool:

The red interior section highlights the black VW section and makes it stand out more. I might be tempted to do a reverse one now. ie paint the VW black and have the interior sprayed in reflex silver :cool:

....WOW!! That looks.....Hot!!!! :evil:

As I was reading it before I saw the pics I was convinced it would look OTT and fussy.

Did you do it yourself or did you buy one of those selling on ebay?

The new 15million candlelight torch should do the trick - if you could room to fit it  :grin:

One off ebay, for the sake of £25 it saved me the bother, I would have needed a new badge anyway as I broke the clips trying to remove the old one  :embarassed:
