do people debadge these days?

My MK1





Sorry just a excuse to post pics of my Mk1

 

and why not - it looks/wicked

 

I prefer badges on...... at least the VW one....

 

As quoted earlier;

"De-baging is for fags".

and initiation rituals, i suppose. but what's the writers' view on removing badges?

 

Nothing wrong with debadging, shows the lines of the car better & we all know that the mk1 has the best lines.

 

disagree i think the MK2 does by far... awesome from every angle....

but thats for a whole different thread surely??

 

I was going to debadge the grill, but went for a cl grill instead and keeping the VW badge.

I dont like 4 lamps on the front as it looks too fussy so wanted the 2 lamp grill.

 

Do you agree on the 1st part i said?

 

I prefer to keep the badges, i really only think debadging is for people with 1 litre cars making them be something they are not.

 

i got rid of mine to stop pathetic boy ricers from embarrassing themselves, i used to get raced home most nights, now they think it's just a cl or something!

 

Only got the one small VR6 badge on back........it aint silver no more so blends in with paintwork

 

I see it a bit different, if I had a TT badge or 20vt thing I'd whip it straight off as I prefer a bit more of a stealth look.

I have the original badges on my mk2 and never had an urge to remove them.

 

That's cool then as i smoothed mine of as it was a 1.3 driver running a 2.1ltr.

 

LOL yeah thats well cool, probably better if you kept the 1.3 badge on and see peoples faces. I just hate the people who remove the badge off corsa's or BMW's 318's hoping people dont notice. My major hate is people adding badges like "turbo" then we all know its not a turbo !

 

A bit off topic but, i saw a Fiat the other day with M power badges on it

Oh how i laughed at that one

 

I saw a mk1 golf once with a ford badge on the grill.... confused me for a second.

 

i have black badges all round but would defo not debadge altogether. im proud of my vw emblem and gti badge . i took the golf badge off the back though.

 

im sometimes tempted to debadge because mk3s are barely noticed anyway so it could have more suprise factor... esp funny with the tiny single pipe

 

Only badge i have is the CGTI one

 

thought id do a photoshop

before



and after



think im going to get it done, i can always put them back, i like having the vw badge on the front but do think the back looks cleaner without it, plus most of the badged are pretty crap now anyway.
