Talk me out of this ?

Post by Shaun »

Having a few spare R badges i was having a play and putting them on the car to see what they looked like :shake: , 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 :eyepop:

So i need someone to tell me it looks just wrong :yes:

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

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.

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!

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...
