Hey Alex,

Did away with the Polo and the TSI badges on my 6R

what tools did you use to debadge?

Mum's hairdryer, some dental floss. took ten minutes tops.

Simply heat the badges up for a minute or two. Slide the floss behind and it slips off. Then roll your finger over the residue, maybe applying some more heat if need be.

finished it by grabbing a dab of polishing and giving it a little clean.

perfect.

thanks, will have to try it out.
what would be the method of sticking them back on, if any?

I would say tracking down some good quality double sided adhesive tape would do the job.

Or superglue hahahah

Barred up Eddie!! But...... It just loses some of that GTI flavour I need to see it in the flesh though to be 100%

I've been patiently saving up for some special OEM replica mags that'll look great on the Polo GTI. Alas it's taking a while

Doesn't matter what you use, as long as it looks good I say.
I use an old DSLR and then Snapseed on my iPad and it generally turns out great.

No doubt it isn't GTI as such, but I loved it as soon as I saw one like this on forum OS! Feel free to judge next meet!

P.S. PLease tell Simon to get a move on, I'm getting to keen to get a package done after riding in yours!!!

Before:


After + Comparison of old v new:

Ohhhh, can you please link me which antenna this is? I bought a small one too, but it isn't small enough...

if you don't mind me asking, wheres that front lip from? nice wheels too...

No secret! I got it off ebay noak tuning, it is really just a basic lip, nothing special. It was 89 euro + 50 in shipping and they cut it in the centre

The stock antenna makes it a PITA getting things in or out while holding the hatch trying to make sure the spoiler doesnt mark. And then the feeling of dread when you forget.
