| I'm thinking of spraying the VW badges and the front GTI badge black but just wondering what are the thoughts on this?? Has anyone seen someone do it on a car the same colour as mine. I don't want to do it and find out it looks turd and then be stuck with them. They are chrome at the moment and I sprayed the GTI badge on the grill chrome too but with the lights tinted maybe black badges would work. |

| I thought about it on mine, then decided on silver with flasback fleck. _________________ "If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit" McLOVIN - RE: Polo Show 2011 - There was a ginger alert at the gate??

| Well there's plenty of time before All Types to experiment. I might get drunk and just do it and then it's tough shit if I don't like it.  |

| Why don't you put up a quick snap of the front and rear, or try experimenting yourself on photoshop with some ideas? That's assuming of course that you can use it? Failing that, I'm sure someone on here would do it  Just and idea! |

You can buy black VW badges from Ebay cheap as chips, you could swap them over easy enough. You could colour code them if you wanted too? I have black badges and it looks sweet. |

| It works, i have it on mine. should suit any colour as black goes with anything. I used BBQ paint as it doesnt chip easily and settles quite flat. I need to do mine againe tho as i got some paper on it when it was drying lol. _________________  | mk1mel wrote: | | you were at our marquee,doing all the moves too |

| Yeah I did this before All Types and it looks good and it was a piece of piss to remove the badges. |
