jimballs 0 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 For some reason I was thinking about badges last night - and admiring a blue mk3 from PVW a good few months back, it was from the US & had quite a few nice touches (but some dodgy LEGO style 18's). Anyway, the one thing that really struck me was the chopped up 328 badge from a BMW, it had been modded a little to read '2.8' & stuck in place of the normal 'Golf VR6' badge on the boot; I really liked this little mod Last month there was another Mk3 VR6 turbo, haven't read the full article, but he had done the same thing, but with a tidy little Porsche 'turbo' badge instead.Needless to say I am off down the scrappy in search of inspiration at the weekend & see what crops up, but it got me thinking.. what other badges might sit nicely on the VR6 boot? I'm thinking 90's German badges mostly, if I was 'charged I'd be rocking a big old 'KOMPRESSOR' badge right now Link to post Share on other sites
jimballs 0 Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Googled some more inspiration .. slow day at work today already Get 2 BMW 'M' Badges, flip one upside down to make a 'W' with the 3 colours streaks following it, chop the second badge to make a tidy little 'V' & stick it in front.Or try finding a similar styled 'K' letter & stick it between the M & 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 halfords do little silver letters mate so you can make up whatever you want thought about rocking a supercharged badge on the back of mine but dont like everyone knowing whats under the bonnet !! ;) stealth stylee Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Im after a tidy fab of an R28 one if anyone has the know how ............ I looked at the letters in Halfords they just arent the same formats ...... Link to post Share on other sites
VRMatt 0 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I run with a de-badged grill and will shortly be removing the badges from the arse end. When you tell people its a Corrado they don't know what it is, this will completely fox em! Link to post Share on other sites

jimballs 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yeah there's a line here between:- an interesting & subtle little mod- looking like a complete tit who thinks his VW is a MercI'm not sure I know where that line is Anyway I grabbed my spray paints before everything I own went into storage, so I might just give my current badges a little going over at the weekend & see how they turn out.

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 yea they tend to be baught by chavs with big body kits on thowhy ??? they are just silver little letters -nothing chavy about them and as long as you aren't writing "turbo" ( if you dont have one !! ) or something stupid on the car then they have no reason to be chavy - most of us already rock some sort of silver lettering on the car !! Personally my VR6 lettering on the back is faded, from all the polishing , so sprucing them up by re-spraying or buying some of these would be perfect. Link to post Share on other sites

I like this attitude :)so yeah get a different and unusual badge, small minded peeps might mock but it's only because they lack the stones to do something out of the norm themselves Link to post Share on other sites
