GTi Badge ripped off
« on: April 13, 2009, 07:08:08 pm »
What is it with people .... went out to my Edition 30 earlier to notice the front GTi badge from the grill has been ripped off - leaving half the clip still in the grill and the other side of it's clip on the floor :Grrrr:

How much do they cost ?  Any ideas - I am assuming £15 'ish ?

Is it worth putting it back on or going for stealth ?  ('ish ... as it still has the red stripe round the grill)

Cars in for a service tomorrow but I bet they'll have to order the badge ..... the people that do this are a complete pain and need a good slap !  I just hope they haven't damaged the grill itself .....

Sorry to hear about that!

I thought the whole fad of VW front badge stealing died off in the 1970's-1980's !!!

Utter pr!cks!  :fighting:

That's really annoying. That'd be enough for me to stealth the car (complete debadge except the VW one at the back, which could be done in black).

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