Fitting bonnet notch for badgeless grill
« on: March 18, 2012, 07:40:41 pm »
What's the best product to use to attach the bonnet notch?

I don't want to use something that will never come off, just in case I don't like it or go back the the badge grill.

Cheers

throw it in the bin.

get the notch welded, a few slams of the bonnet will see that notch either fall out of crease paintwork otherwise.

fyi the bottom edge of most car doors have a seam weld that matches nicely the edge of a VW bonnet, so a small section of that cut out and welded in will look factory  :happy2: means a bonnet spray but the effect is perfect that way

 :grin: that's a little too permanent, I'm not 100% sure I'm going to keep the grill, also it might affect the resale value. Although im probably just being stupid about it.
