well payday came along so ive just ordered myself a GTi splitter to match my grille and bumper mesh.
also when i was on the phone to VAG parts, i thought, what the f**k, why not buy a black grille badge aswell.
will post some pics up as soon as the bits are on.

will look great mate,

take the front of my car as an example lol

sont understand why u lot spend 10 quid on a black badge when u can spend 2 quid on spray paint lol

I have ordered exactly the same but i also ordered the rear black badge aswell and am planning on colour coding the plastic bits in between. Vag parts were out of stock on some of the items i ordered so im still waiting for my parts

Simmy its easy enough to spray the front badge but the back one is a f****r

I ended up buying a proper one as a prayed one looks w**k

i personally think the sprayed badges can look abit toss, unless really done with care. but i personally like the idea that ive still got the chrome one if i want to change at some point for whatever reason

I have 2 chrome front ones, 2 black front ones, a chrome and red GTi grille badge, a black GTi badge and 2 grilles

I saw a front one that had been sprayed at the GTi Festival and it looked a bit naff because it had stone chips on it which looked white as it had chipped the paint off.

And spray paint is a bit more that £2, as well as ideally needing some wet and dry, plastic primer and possibly laquer.

the rear black badges off ebay are professionaly done, nuff said!
im like a monkey with a spray gun when it comes to colour-coding....leave it to the experts

becuase if i put it on and decide i dont want a black badge i dont have to buy another 1, ive still got the original 1
