Why doesnt the Polo Gti have the 1.8T badge on it

[Petrina Polo]

Hi,

We all know that the 1.8T is used by Audi and VW in so many cars. Just about all of them have the 1.8T badge on it. But why not the Polo Gti? save money? weigh it down?

The fewer badges, the better.

When I get the courage, I'll debadge mine.

imho the gti badge is all that is needed to be said

The 1.8T badge was an Audi thing. I've not seen a VW with these as stock.

Just like the golf gti.. it doesnt have 2.0T, its just vw thing i guess

cos anyone that doesn't know the cars will probably laugh if they saw a 1.8t badge and think we're full of 5hit. (until we dust em, jokes)

The VW Beetle has a turbo badge on the back of it.. I think the passat has a 1.8T badge on it as well. Other VW cars have their engine size badge on them, 1.6, 2.0tsi, tdi etc etc

Every other golf has its engine designation on it except the GTI.

The skoda has the 1.8T badge as well.

The 1.8T badge might give the little GTi a little more street cred.

you can buy 'em from TMTuning if you really want one.

I like the fact it only has GTI badges, rather not broadcast whats under the hood

Passat had 1.8t badge, as well as 20v badge. I've got a 1.8t with red t on my boot lid opposite side of GTI. IMO stands for chipped!! I also have an R badge on top of ashtray.

Because if it came with the 1.8T badge, it would also come with the POLO badge... the less on my tailgate the better. I think the VW and GTI badge is more than enough.

Because it is a GTI! it doesn't has the badge, plain clear to me

Maybe for street cred you should get one of these Petrina ...

So people KNOW it is a turbo !


Maybe appeal to the bogans ...


Maybe pretend it is bigger than it is ...
