UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Originally i had the standard grille with silver VW, but as you guys might remember about two months ago i put on a mesh one, which really asked some questions!!!



But now i've put the old grille back on but with a black badge.



what should i do? leave as it is (which i think is the nicest option) put the silver VW back on? or put the mesh one back on?

let us know boys!!

thanx

definatly the original grill it looks good, im realy not a fan on any mesh at all....so ricey!!
in my opinion if you have some money get a fully ed-badged grill like mine? but stick the 16v badge bk on.

I much prefer the slatted grille.

yeah, thats what i thought too, i was never too keen on the mesh one!! but what colour centre? silver or black?

id use the mesh one personally. I think there are far too many standard grills. its rare to see anything different. I personally sport a colour coded grill with chrome badge. its better then yours. Naturally




Chris,

I think the standard grille is the best looking for the 16v Polo!!! I prefer the silver VW badge on! However, I don't mind the black badge, as I think it looks ok on the Polo as well. Its fully up to your choice really!

Samuel

was thinking of colour coding the silver badge i have, to the same as my car, but not sure if it'll look ok!
think black is looking sweet!

why not colour code the grille to the colour of your car with the black 'vw' badge

yeah, thought of that, but i cant do it myself, so have to get a paint shop to do it, so bit more expensive, but i'm still considering it, as i have another totally standard grill put away!

is yours done? how did you do yours?

Nooooooo!
Do not colour-code it and have a black badge!
Trust me...
...From a distance and from oncoming cars it just looks as tho your badge has fallen out or been stolen! honestly, it just looks as tho you have no badge.

Black standard grill, black badge, but change the 16v badge to a mk5 badge which has chunkier, shiney chrome 16v... and i know how too make it fit this grill.

Or

Debadged grille WITH just a 16v badge

Just been thinkin...

...the only mesh grill that looks good on a Polo has got to be a KAMEI

I sprayed mine myself on my old mk4, it wasnt amazingly noticeable for the colour:

can still see the colour thought! but my colour is going to be a bit harder i reckon!
cus i got to get the right colour and shine!

i quite like the thiner mk4 16v badge, rather than the mk5 one!

yeah, if colour coded i'm gone put a silver badge!

this is all so hard to make a decision, in my mind it all looks good!

Yeah mine is done to the colour of my car with a black logo, looks alright, more noticeable than it missing

See if a backstreet garage can do it for you, i done mine in my work's paintbooth.

Black badges are good, the whole point is that it looks like its not there but it is, its subtle. Although a friend drove past me and then when i next saw her she asked if someone stole my badge when i was in the mk4 lol.
