I think the rear is too much.  I would probably go for the HELLA dark red tail tights and keep the chrome effent on the rear.  :cool:

That rear CF badge looks lovely RR. :tongue: How easy is it to remove and replace the rear badge?

....The whole rear badge with integrated lock mechanism has to be replaced. The TTshop are still trying to get European distribution for the CF version. It's a case of buying the whole new unit and sending in your old stock one so they can manufacture another CF version for the next buyer.

These are the letters I have on my grill, minus the rabbit of course.  Official VW part for the US market rabbit.  I got mine from ebay.de
Just removed the silver GTI and stuck the red on.  A perfect fit.

Now they look a hundred times better than the painted ones. The Chrome detailing around the edges finishes them off nicely.

Got a picture of the badge on your car mate? Interested to see how it looks, not so keen on the painted red version that laserblue has (no offence!)

By the way the fella who sells these emailed me back about the black rear badge, £135, this includes the boot release assy, as its all one part so he tells me. £85 from a dealer in the first place. Also he will do lighter shades of black as I mentioned the one in the picture looked a bit too dark for my liking.

the badge i have is an original gti badge just sprayed red.

other red gti badges on ebay are fakes, they will discolour after time and weather.

the original 25th anniversary badge that was mounted on the front grille cost £39.99 from my local dealer, the rear is £19.99.

you can stick this onto the stock gti badge holder but will need soem strong weather proof glue.

tried all these options and failed after time so purchased the red gti badge off ebay, quality painted and fits straight on as its a whole peice.

 :shocked: Bit pricey! Can see why you went down the painted version route! Think I'll just leave mine silver, not sure a black gti with black VW badge and red GTI badge will look any good! Would still like to see a piccie of your grill if you get a moment L555BAT
