I say leave as is as I think the GTI should wear the GTI badge at the front. The rear looks better without IMO!  :happy2:

I know what part your talking about, when i changed my gti silver letters to the ones i have now with red outline i could'nt get the plastic bit off so i heated up letters and then peeled them off and replaced letters...

I know that once i can get that plastic bit on the front off, there is the back part that is part of honeycoombe that i would have to some how cut out.. anyone know i cheap good tool i could buy to do that.. :happy2:

i can see where your coming from but i think it would make it look quite stealth, and i think with out it people would still know its a gti (especially when i put my foot down :signLOL:)

my opinion would be to leave it.

i can see the idea behind removing it, cleaner looking etc.


but in practise is just leaves the car looking like "who stole my GTI badge?"

I like the GTi badge... it lets people know you've got the real deal golf....


Take it off and you leave people wondering whether its a GTi or not....


And you aint gonna be putting ur foot down all the time :grin:


Depends how you are... for style... it prolly does look better off.... but its nice to show off the GTi badge right ? 8)
