Of course you could always go for a carbon fibre one. No paint chips and a little bling for the front end.
Goes well with silver too :happy2:


And the rear :wink:

Are the front ones easy to swap over? After seeing that image I think I fancy a black one, to complement my black car.

They are once the front grill is off. Not recommended to try and remove without the grille off as once the tabs are damaged it makes it easier for the theiving little Beastie Boys to nick em!  :fighting:

.........i did mine in about 30 seconds without taking the grill off.All i did was lift bonet,get a tin of wd40 fit the extension tube & spray  round the back of the badge & then squirt through the front of the badge.Leave it a couple of mins to soak in & then twist badge about a quarter turn anti clockwise & the badge comes out.Simples.  :wink:

Hurdy,
I know this is going to look like I pretty much want a copy of your car, what with having the same stereo and all, but where did you get teh badge from? Was it the group buy? Are there still any available, as I am having the carbon style vinyl done on the front think that the badge would look cool with it.

Got my badge this morning, and have fitted it, using the 30° rotation method. I'm very pleased with it!

Not too exciting you might say, however this, although it's only a small change, represents my first foray into the world of modding!

Just twist anti-clockwise was the method I used too :happy2: The black badge looked Ok on mine, but on a silver car I prefer the standard badge.
What color is your car Andrew? They really do look great on the BMP GTi's

Any more pics? Is the carbon on the face or inside the badge too?

Can anyone explain how to get the front badge out as I thought it was as simple as pulling it out but clearly not unlike my mk2 golf's!  :innocent:

Thanks

Vick  :smiley:

It easy. I just grabbed hold by putting my fingers in the holes in between the V and the W and turn it to the left. It should then just pull out! :happy2:

 :sad1:   EDIT* Please DON'T use this method, as the clips on the back of the badge can break*    :sad1:
