New Matt Black Emblems and Debadged

[irish_ram]

Don't worry Irish, once u got the red inserts in it will look just as good as GTI-Ross mk6 golf! 

C'mon man, you know its true....Spend money to enhance, not hinder the look

Hinder in your eyes mate can be enhance in others. None of us are the official expert in design but we all have our own ideas.

I am sure I would not like things about your car that you are crazy about like it being an MK6 and not a MK5

Looks good mate, got any pics of the front from further away? I like the gt grills but you don't often see them in black on a red car.

I have not at the moment. I will take some for you tomorrow and post up.

I was not aware my front gt sport grill was any different to the standard one or is it you have not seen them on a red car. If so what have you seen on a red for the grill?

Usually (I think) there colour coded to the car so the bit with the plate on is the same colour as the car.

Just had a scan on Auto Trader and a lot of them are the same colour of the car so your right. But the few red ones on there were all black. I like colour coding but it does look much better all black as there was one on there red with the plate bit red and did not look nice

much prefer the chrome , do not like the rear at all ,

[Degudodger]

I'm undecided. Whilst I like the black front badge, personally black looks better on darker cars and chrome on coloured. The rear badge, again not sure if I like it but then again I don't like a lot of things.

Hinder in my "Eyes", you really are backwards bro. Im not the only person saying it looks bad. There hasnt been one person that actually said it looks good, plus you paid £54 for it.....

PS - Had alreday had  MK5 GTI in red, sold it and upgraded to MK6

Is there a need for insults mate. I asked opinions on the look to get other view, not to be insulted. Most have replied with their views whether bad or good and some have actually given advice on what to do to maybe make it look better which is probably the whole point I posted this topic.

If all you can do is reply with stupid comments then what is the point in your posts

GTI-ROSS, In defence of the OP - and I can say this as I created his handle - you seem not to appreciate how much things cost.

The price for his complete handle included delivery as well as the vinyl wrap and time it took me to wrap the standard silver badge. 3D handles  still sell for about £45 on their own, so it is not much extra I charge for the wrapping and delivery, which Irish-ram and lots of other members would agree with!

He has created a genuine thread to help people, so don't criticise. If you don't like the look then each to their own, but he does.

 I used to own a TR and have created a red backed version for someone in the past, like below, so if you would like a bit if red vinyl to cut and stick between the badge then I may have a bit left you are welcome to have - but if you like the black on black then keep it - recommend washing the car though

Cheers brookesb32 and I love the badge and well worth the price but then some people think you can things for nothing nowadays.

The car definitely looks apart from in the last photo but that wash only a machine wash so very basic.

If you have the red vinyl going then I may take it. I am going to use my basic photo shop skills and put the pic of your red badge on my car and see what it looks like and will then let me know.

Thanks again for the badge and great service just like everyone else said and recommended

That one looks good on a TR golf

@brookesb32 I can't appreciate how much things cost? I did the same mod for my MK5, (not black on Black) and cost me about £22 in total. £18 for the 3D badge (from a car breakers near me) they have tons in stock, and it didnt matter about it being used and it was getting wrapped anyways. Then just £4 on vinyl, 2 different colors.

Im not saying the work involved isnt tricky, as i know from experience wrapping can be fiddly and time consuming. The main point is that you should take time and research before spending £54 on mod that most people think looks pretty bad. But as everyone say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And @ IrishMan - I hardly insulted you, dont get so upset its only banter. #Captain Butt Hurt

You even got his name wrong GTI-ROSS, stop insulting people!!!!!    I'm sure he's not bothered, after all that's what forums are 4! If we all drove round in the same car in the same colour with the same wheels forums like this would be sh1t!!!! 

[brookesb32]

Well GTI-Ross if you can get a complete handle (not just the badge) for £18 then well done, but most scrap yards know their value and would charge at least £30-40 for a handle, and on eBay most are at £45 upwards.

I'm not a fan of black myself but it doesn't stop me making them for people as I can see how they would like them and therefore if they are happy then all is well

People pay more money than others for things. As you said you went to a scrap yard and also did the job yourself so would be cheaper.

I did not do any leg work and paid for the service which is going to be slightly dearer but as most will find and agree on here £54 is a good price for getting a whole new boot handle fully customized to what they want and delivered with a couple of days at most. And whether it is deemed ugly or not does not effect the price. I could have asked brookesb32 to wrap it multi coloured in yellow, green and pink which would be awful but would not affect price most likely.

And I have been on several forums and have had banter back and forward which is fine. What you are posting ain't banter mate and does not even look like you think bout what you are posting and to back that up as a previous poster said you were not even bothered to get my name right so shows how much thought you are putting into your posts.

Thanks for your initial feedback but I suggest you go post on someone else's topic now with you valuable feedback and getting their name wrong
