I didn't say no straight away  :grin:, as it's perhaps something that may look better in the flesh (if really subtly done via a gentle backlight), not that I would do it LOL

It wont really work as you would want to, as the "GTI" badge on the front has a back plate.

It's a maybe from me  :rolleye:

Sounds like a bit of fun, for a mate (many many years ago) I wired up the red led from him alarm in to the peugeot lion badge, so it looked like Lion's eye was flashing red  :ashamed:  :laugh:
