As you can see you also loose the red strip on the bottom of the grille as well.

I have a spare red trim off a previous grill that I plan to put on the badgeless grill, plus that little bit of a notch dosn't bother me at all...It will stay as is. I can't wait to get home and fit it all up...Only 5 weeks to go!!

I dont know how much the black badges cost, but i sanded mine down and put 10 coats of black bumper paint on it which costs $15 from repco. Gives a matt black finish and very smooth, be very hard pressed to tell its painted.

The bugs show up though:rolleyes:

did you have to sand back the chrome on the insides of the V and W. It would be hard to get in there wouldn't it?

i sanded it as well as possible within reason, but the bumper paint seems to be a little rubbery in texture and forms together fairly well. I initially only did 4 coats and that was a little thin in places but took it off and added another 10. been on 2months now and no sign of damage...yet

So what are you trading it in for Paul? Or did you mean you're selling it off completely?

Holy crap! Now here's a guy who takes it even further ...

"Hmmm... chip the Polo or buy an R32." :wasntme:

Congratulations on the purchase. Look forward to seeing it at the next meet.
