Debadged GTI?

[VWindahouse]

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has debaged the rear hatch on their GTI? Do the individual letters have guides which protrude into the hatch itself or are they just glued on?

Thanks for your help!

They have a self adhesive backing on the letters, no holes should be left!

Why do you want to debadge a GTI?

I have no badges on my VR6, mind you I didn't take them off, they were gone when I bought it and I wouldn't have taken them off myself...

Having said that, I like my little sleeper

I'm considering getting my sideskirts and rear apron colour coded red. If I decide to go ahead with it I think I'll debage the polo as well in the attempt to get the sleeper look! In my opinion the trade mark of the VW GTI is the honeycomb grill surrounded with the red striping not the little GTI bages lol

After having my car badged by some young punk lol i found the back badge is in a resessed hole so u would need it smoothed.

im pretty sure thats not necessary for the GTI badge however.

I was thinking about debadging mine too but got lazy

Flush the hatch release too that would look awesome

Your on drugs right? I can understand wanting to make it a sleeper, however you'll need to change wheels, remove the honeycomb grille, the red stripe. Normally sleepers are cars that look like crap from the start and get built up underneath.

The TM of the GTI is the badge and to a lesser extent the red stripe which was found on the original MK1 GTI. The honeycomb grille has only been on this MKV Golf and Polo.

Maybe Smoothed would be a better term?

I've been thinking of blacking out the VW badges. Does anyone know where I can buy a couple for the Polo so I can swap them over from time to time?

The front and rear Badges are around $100 each from vw but i am sure ebay would have something.
I have painted my front looks good i think lol.
