« on: December 12, 2009, 01:18:48 pm »
Hi Guys, just wrapped my badge in carbon fibre wrap and I'm struggling to decide whether i prefer the previous black badge or the new one.

Black, carbon looks too grey and out of place.

....

Are you talking carbon vinyl or the real deal?

Whatever you do on the front badge should ideally repeat on the rear VW badge.

Just applying carbon could easily jump start you onto the slippery slope and carbonfibre is very slippery!

Black gets my vote, but if you wrapped the gloss black section of the grille in CF wrap then the carbon one would look better as it would tie in with the badge. :happy2:

Not a fan of CF so plain black for me. Where did you get the badge from?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
