Talk me out of this ?
Having a few spare R badges i was having a play and putting them on the car to see what they looked like , i tried them in this place and even though i originally thought it was going to look silly i find myself strangely drawn to doing it
So i need someone to tell me it looks just wrong

Shaun, if you want a car with a badge there you need to do it right & buy a ferrari!!!
Don't do it with a VW
that good enough?

It doesnt really fit with any of the lines of the car.
Maybe way below, between door and wheelcase?

Shaun... understated is always better. The 'R' in the front grille and on the boot is all you need. Trust me!

Re: Talk me out of this ?
VW actually puts the R-Line badge in approximately that position.
However, I wouldn't do that with an "R" if it was up to me. I have an R-Line my self, and would immediately assume it was a Scirocco R-Line you were driving. I assume that's not you goal here
Drop the badges is my vote!
PS! Notify me if you wan't me to remove the pic.

Re: Talk me out of this ?
Well i quite like it, but i know that there'll be a whole heap of people who don't
I think, if you think it fits your car, then do it!

Re: Talk me out of this ?
I kinda like that look on Kenti's car.
Does remind me of a mk1 Leon Cupra R though which had a similar badge in a similar place...
