Did away with the Polo and the TSI badges on my 6R

what tools did you use to debadge?

what tools did you use to debadge?

Mum's hairdryer, some dental floss. took ten minutes tops.

Simply heat the badges up for a minute or two. Slide the floss behind and it slips off. Then roll your finger over the residue, maybe applying some more heat if need be.

finished it by grabbing a dab of polishing and giving it a little clean.

perfect.

thanks, will have to try it out.
what would be the method of sticking them back on, if any?

I would say tracking down some good quality double sided adhesive tape would do the job.

Or superglue hahahah

Barred up Eddie!! But...... It just loses some of that GTI flavour I need to see it in the flesh though to be 100%

I've been patiently saving up for some special OEM replica mags that'll look great on the Polo GTI. Alas it's taking a while

Doesn't matter what you use, as long as it looks good I say.
I use an old DSLR and then Snapseed on my iPad and it generally turns out great.

No doubt it isn't GTI as such, but I loved it as soon as I saw one like this on forum OS! Feel free to judge next meet!

P.S. PLease tell Simon to get a move on, I'm getting to keen to get a package done after riding in yours!!!

stubby was delivered today. and now to show you why i bought it

Before:


After + Comparison of old v new:

Ohhhh, can you please link me which antenna this is? I bought a small one too, but it isn't small enough...

if you don't mind me asking, wheres that front lip from? nice wheels too...

No secret! I got it off ebay noak tuning, it is really just a basic lip, nothing special. It was 89 euro + 50 in shipping and they cut it in the centre

The stock antenna makes it a PITA getting things in or out while holding the hatch trying to make sure the spoiler doesnt mark. And then the feeling of dread when you forget.

[PoloDave]

strange my antenna barely touches the spoiler? It flexes about 2mm or so but thats it, not even close to your pic

[Lemonskin]

Has anyone put the sharan stubby antenna on? I'm thinking of getting one from dubaddiction.

See my earlier post

[Hail22]

I have received quotes for spraying the R20 style bumper....however

Two of the spray painters have advised me not to go ahead and not buy an aftermarket bodykit...

Can I ask why not?

as I have no experience with aftermarket kits, the moffat and RSR are based on race engineered bolt on fibreglass kits...not exactly aftermarket

[MrDeathLad]

For all those after a stubby antenna:
I bought mine from DubAddiction, cost was 24.95 free postage. Paid for on aus day. Received yesterday (mon 4). Would have been Friday if not for public holiday Monday.
So far, no noticeable loss of reception. Looks better. Doesn't rub on spoiler. Best 24.95 ever spent.
