Why doesnt the Polo Gti have the 1.8T badge on it

[Yevvy]

All of Audi, some of VW agree with me.

why do they need to tell anyone? are they insecure too?

I say you should be proud of not having a 1.8t badge on the gti. look at all top of the range vag cars, they don't have silly numbers on the back, just the letters gti, R32(ignore the 32 ) s, rs...

Rubbish! A large number of Audi and VW models DO NOT have displacement badges. Let's start with the Golf GTI, and then wander around the yard of an Audi dealer. Good grief

fail...

Most audis and VW DO have displacement badges.

Actually almost ALL.

Why are we arguing about badges on a car?

Interesting dispute :d

I'm thinking of putting a 1.2 or 1.4 badge on mine :p

I don't see the point of it.
People aren't going to drive past and see a 1.8T badge and go "WOW! What a sweet ride, that thing must be fast!"

If you want to be noticed, get your polo painted in some ludicrously bright/glitter/pearl/ paint and add flashy bling rims.

If you want to enjoy your polo for what it is, then leave it alone, don't add useless badges and enjoy the hot hatch.

It seems to me like you want the polo to be a supra or a FPV/HSV.

Because of your original post which I remind you went like this:-

Hi,

We all know that the 1.8T is used by Audi and VW in so many cars. Just about all of them have the 1.8T badge on it. But why not the Polo Gti? save money? weigh it down?

What an interesting and informative thread.

Cheers

Only in the most recent models have VW and Audi stopped putting displacements on their vehicles. Prior to that, pretty much every model barr the top models being the VW GTI's and Audi S and RS models carried displacement badges. Even the R model dubs have the displacement shown.

^^^My point exactly...no doubt things were different 5 years ago or even last century, but that's not the point, is it...actually, what is the point of this stupid, stupid thread?
