Tigz™ Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Both my front and rear GTI badges are looking pretty rubbish.Awesome sell replacements, for some reason the Anniversary badges are cheaper than my standards, but before I go and spend £20 on some replacements has anyone got a suggestion on what I could use to turn them red again, and how I might go about it?

vworks41 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Halfords red pin stripe tape does the trick. Just stick over the badge and cut inside the recess with a scalple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeAl Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Andi,Cheapest way to do it would be to get a TDI (red I only) badge off the dealer and just use the red I Part no: 3B0 853 675 AB GQF £8.80 Dealer Retail.Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
