  • Aliexpress OEM R-Line badge shenanigans

    A few months ago I was a little bored with the de-badged rear on my Passat and stumbled upon these Chinese-market genuine OEM R-line grill badges on Aliexpress for under $10 landed:

    The quality is excellent as you'd expect from a genuine part.


    I carefully removed the badge from the mount and applied some decent automotive double-sided tape and here's the result!


    It's a matter of personal taste, but it has really grown on me over the past few months. I wouldn't feel right about plastering a R badge on the front and back of my modest Stage 1 beast (I don't have the grunt to justify it!) but I can live with this.

    Looks clean mate!
    Similar to you I only have the Passat badge L/R position and the standard R-Line on the front grille for a minimal look.

      Very nice. Yeah, decluttering the rear was high on the agenda when I first bought this car!
