Intrigued to know if scirocco appears on the rear left, or is it just the VW badge?

yes, but that is taking matters into your own hands
Just wondering what debadged means from the factory.

The bonnet badge sits in a recess about 2-3 mm deep so even debadged you would not have a flat bonnet.

Ahh well I was referring to this on the link:
What badges are removed in the free deletion option?
Just the engine badge on the right of the boot.
But it seems the SCIROCCO badge is also removed with the factory option now

That was an early guess.
I've amended the wiki page.

Maybe its me but I can understand if you have a 1.4 removing the badge as its a way of hiding the identity of the car (the cheaper variant) but if you have the models that we have why would you hide that fact you have the top of the range car?

Wouldn't say it made that much cleaner and if they are after the car removing a badge won't make that much difference either

your on my wave length, especially when every other 1.4 driver has done the same! I think the twin exhaust will be a give away anyway, each there own though

Personally I don't see the point of badges - they just act as dirt trap.
To the non cognoscenti it's a Scirocco full stop.
I don't really care whether the rest of the world can work out which model I'm driving.
