Debadging / Rebadging your Tig

[tigger73]

So, my GTI badged Tig was missing a few letters??

Yep sorry to disappoint but technically you should have put the other 4 letters on in front

Actually now you're missing 6 letters

If we use the MOTION from 4MOTION

IMITATIONS

But that would just sound wrong.

I have the 155TSI in the driveway and it gets sooo dirty so fast so I can appreciate all the hard work you've done to keep yours so shiny. We do have a 2 car garage but between my boxes and the fact that my wife doesn't feel comfortable navigating a second car in there means the Tigger has to be outside

Well if we added all the other letters we'd be up to 16 (if you included the 0 as an O) plus a 2, 4 and "." so total of 19 letters/digits/punctuation. Which is part of the reason why I debadged to start with - just way to much stuff going on the back.

Part of the hazard of having a black car is it has to get washed weekly to keep it looking half reasonable and shows every scratch. We keep it under a carport but this doesn't stop the dust. Plus during the day I am usually parked in an open air carpark at work.

Though it does look smart when it's clean and the 2-tone with the dark grey plasticware is less severe on a black Tig.

Edit: 'tits' actually does work....

I thought about doing the same, shame there is no second 't' otherwise you could go for 'TITT5' :p

I'm staying debadged....my wife would kill me...

Yes there's probably a few others on the no go list - "NO GUTS", "GO NUTS", "GUN IT"

My wife has to drive the car too so whatever goes on she has to be happy with or I won't hear the end of it (until I change it).

Oh DoggieHowser!!!

You deserve the sticker now mate!!!

[Tigger]

Well now let's see - gonna be a bit of a tricky one.

How about: VODKA IS A CAT

Though not sure if you have all those letters in the same font so think you may just be limited to "Octavia" and possibly "RS".

Depends which model you have but the latest ones also come with lower case lettering which is going to lmit your options.

OK so we've had 2 sticker winners already, congratulations to Tigger and DoggieHowser.

The competition for best badge will be open for another two weeeks. Entries close Sunday 14th October at 8pm EST.

I'll put all options to my wife and the judges decision is final (and she also reserves the right to change her mind)!!!!

Though in the meantime I'll have to find myself some decent double sided tape for permanent installation as I don't think the blu-tac is going to cut it long term.

How about "STIGUAN" with or without the red "I" - just trying to decide.

It was a nice sunny day on a long weekend. All jobs done. Too much time on my hands. A bit of a slow news day on the Tiguan thread so I thought I'd open up some discussion on debadging/rebadging.

Recently debadged my car to give a nice clean boot:



Now considering putting something back on.... jury is out at the moment



or maybe



or perhaps



now this is getting a little silly...



So I'm laying down the challenge to anyone that can come up with anything better... winner gets the honour and glory of having their badge idea on my boot!!!

So the letters available are: T, I, G, U, A, N, T, S, I (red) oh and if you like you can use the 2.0.

I'd even consider cutting the 0 off the 2.0 to make the letter "O" but obviously this is a one-way option.

Anyone coming up with a 9 letter word wins a VWWatercooled sticker.

Sincerest apologies for bumping such an old thread but can I ask how you went about debadging your tig?

** Edit ** never mind I got impatient and got the floss out
