Badges - something out of the ordinary?


Recommended Posts

For some reason I was thinking about badges last night - and admiring a blue mk3 from PVW a good few months back, it was from the US & had quite a few nice touches (but some dodgy LEGO style 18's). Anyway, the one thing that really struck me was the chopped up 328 badge from a BMW, it had been modded a little to read '2.8' & stuck in place of the normal 'Golf VR6' badge on the boot; I really liked this little mod :) Last month there was another Mk3 VR6 turbo, haven't read the full article, but he had done the same thing, but with a tidy little Porsche 'turbo' badge instead.

Needless to say I am off down the scrappy in search of inspiration at the weekend & see what crops up, but it got me thinking.. what other badges might sit nicely on the VR6 boot? I'm thinking 90's German badges mostly, if I was 'charged I'd be rocking a big old 'KOMPRESSOR' badge right now :D

Googled some more inspiration .. slow day at work today already ;)

Get 2 BMW 'M' Badges, flip one upside down to make a 'W' with the 3 colours streaks following it, chop the second badge to make a tidy little 'V' & stick it in front.

Or try finding a similar styled 'K' letter & stick it between the M & 3 ;)

Yeah there's a line here between:

- an interesting & subtle little mod

- looking like a complete tit who thinks his VW is a Merc

I'm not sure I know where that line is :P Anyway I grabbed my spray paints before everything I own went into storage, so I might just give my current badges a little going over at the weekend & see how they turn out.

why ??? they are just silver little letters -nothing chavy about them and as long as you aren't writing "turbo" ( if you dont have one !! ) or something stupid on the car then they have no reason to be chavy - most of us already rock some sort of silver lettering on the car !! Personally my VR6 lettering on the back is faded, from all the polishing ;) , so sprucing them up by re-spraying or buying some of these would be perfect.
