HI,
I kept my badging on but now I`m going to remove it as I`ve grown weary of it.
So I`ve had best of both worlds now :thumbup:

One of the members who has debadged his car is Kenti - black-rocco-finally-arrived-pic-heavy-t8179.html

 

I removed all the lettering but put two of the letters back on.

and painted the bonnet and boot emblems black.

I think it looks much better.

 

Thaks guys....agree the smooth look is very nice...I was only goingto remove everything on the right hand side and leave the scirocco in situ but not so sure now...

 

I left mine on, so I could let people know what model and fuel type it was (In a nice way) but soon got rid of then. I love it without them now... Plus I can always put them back on

Why don't you leave them on for a few weeks and see how your feel :thumbup:

 

well ive sent 32K on a R so i aint de badging mine I want everyone to know what it is LOL

Don`t you have enough badges now :lol:

 

Yep debadged mine. Probably even if I had a GTi Golf etc I would debadge it. I don't buy a car to flaunt it to others - I buy it for me and most cars look better (with some exceptions) with no boot badges.

i would probably say and do the same if i had a chip fat, In fact i did debadge my Golf mk5 sport 105 bhp chip fat

 

I think some badging helps break up the rather large arse

Not yet... Got the shopping list coming down the side of the car soon

 

Washed & polished the for the first time today...by the end of the process the rear was clear of badges...looks so much better without...if it had just been badges up GT 2.0 TDI would probably have been left butvte Bluemotion sticker a) was ugly & b) seemed against the point on the Scirocco...

As an aside, given how easy they were to get off (even without using a hair drier) surprised there aren't Sciroccos driving around 1/2 debadged from visiting the car wash!

I'm considering doing the same to mine! think it looks really good, did u use the favoured hairdryer technique?

What adhesive did you use to stick the badges back on once they were painted black?

you use badge tape its like a foam double sided sticky tape

I took advantage of it being a very warm day and parked the car in the sun. The badges came off a treat.

I raided my fathers garage as he still had some tape left over from working in the auto industry.

There's a link to the tape on the thread below.

Thanks guys, went out and bought the primer, deep black spray and laquer last night so it's going to be all guns ahead this weekend! Regarding the tape to put them back on, some people recommended number plater tape so i invested in some 1mm stuff from halfords (opposed to 6mm - didn't really fancy the badges sticking out that much!) Only problem being that the tape is white (my car is black) but i'm pretty confident that due to how thin it is it shouldn't show, i'll also avoid putting the tape to near to the edges of the badges. Looking forward to the result!!
