i think you can still be proud of owning a vw golf without necessarily having the badges...its clear what it is.  clean is the way to go imho.

It's not about whether it looks aesthetically tidier or not. The GTI badge is something you should be proud of! :fighting: and the same goes for the VW badges. I detest debadged VeeDubs - It's sacrilege, though it says a lot about their owners. Too late though, and I suppose it is your car.

Agreed.

I would never de-badge my GTI.

I've waited years to finally earn the badge.. I want to scream from the rooftops that I finally achieved the dreams of my beat-up ford fiesta owning youth and own a GTI. For me, the badge is a thriller and has to be there! It's not like you're one of those guys that owns a diesel beemer and sticks an M badge on  :grin:

Really like the rear valence and exhaust treatment of your Edition 30.  :wink:

Was the exhaust a custom made item or was it an R32 pattern unit? Is the valence a stock VW R32 item also?

With the badge BTW  :happy2:
