It's not about whether it looks aesthetically tidier or not. The GTI badge is something you should be proud of! :fighting: and the same goes for the VW badges. I detest debadged VeeDubs - It's sacrilege, though it says a lot about their owners. Too late though, and I suppose it is your car.

That works for me. Wanted a Bluemotion one on the front of my .:R.  :wink:

As for badgeless I am a fan of the clean bum look.

like i said it had basically fallen off anyway so. either way the red was coming off, whether i put a chrome one back is undecided.

i think you can still be proud of owning a vw golf without necessarily having the badges...its clear what it is.  clean is the way to go imho.

Agreed.

I would never de-badge my GTI.

I've waited years to finally earn the badge.. I want to scream from the rooftops that I finally achieved the dreams of my beat-up ford fiesta owning youth and own a GTI. For me, the badge is a thriller and has to be there! It's not like you're one of those guys that owns a diesel beemer and sticks an M badge on  :grin:

Really like the rear valence and exhaust treatment of your Edition 30.  :wink:

Was the exhaust a custom made item or was it an R32 pattern unit? Is the valence a stock VW R32 item also?

With the badge BTW  :happy2:
