front on gti and gli use same bumper cover and fenders (accoring to my junkyard network) which means the grill is the same size as well.

[sml]

i think it clips differently or something

that makes no sense if the car uses the same front end parts it wouldn't clip in differently because there would only be one set of holes in the bumper

stop being gay

hmm an auto with 2 clutch plates... never heard of that :p plus it shifts faster than a manual. lol

oh and im not rich either! lol

and for adam.

the badgeless grill will most likely fit then at that time ur going to be like wow this is gay cause theres this big notch in my hood where the vw emblem used to be. gay! then ull have to buy a new hood without a notch, fill the notch with custom work, or fill it with that gay little replacement piece.

thats my .02 :D

[sml]

i would be okay with the replacement peice. buy it jake. lets see if it fits. my $.03

[Gee Tea Eye V]

lol sorry i like my badged grille, the only thing i would change was the gti on the front, im thinkin about dremeling it out

[sml]

do it! I need a guinee pig

[Gee Tea Eye V]

helllll no :laugh:

My GTI logo is just glued on now....clips broke while back. I thought about getting the R badge but don't know......maybe just remove it. The VW logo should be black!!! The grill on the GTI and GLI are the same. The Rabbit is differant.

yes... HENDO PAINT YOURS lol:D

[Gee Tea Eye V]

i know the letters are just glued on but the piece that holds the letters in place is part of the plastic

[sml]

id be interested to see what it looks like without a dremel job.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

stupid :td: its just a big plastic platform on the front of the grill

[sml]

i dont see why someone doesnt make a badgeless honey comb that fits our cars?:confused:

[Gee Tea Eye V]

they do... its just in germany! lol

[sml]

and its like $400

[Loccusst]

The letters are 3M adhesived to the little black platform that is just clipped onto the honey comb grill. Carefull because it will break if you pry it off wrong.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

yeah but i there still stuff left over in the honey comb when u take the platform off isnt there? cause i swear there was when i took mine off

[Loccusst]

Yeah a little bit so it has something to click into.

[sml]

hurry up and do it jake... i wanna see if we can do it to mine with out screwing it up!:tu:

[Loccusst]

I have seen it dremeled out before on GolfMKV.com

[Gee Tea Eye V]

hurry up and do it jake... i wanna see if we can do it to mine with out screwing it up!:tu:


id totally do it but i dont have a dremel. and if i did it and it got f'ed up id just glue the plate with the letters on it back on

[Loccusst]

Maybe I will do it. I have a dremel in the garage.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

id gladly be the guinea pig if u guys wanted, as long as someone has good hands with that dremel! lol

[stollen]

I thought about getting the R badge but don't know.......


:nono:

No offense or anything, but you have a GTI, not an R. I really hate it when I see people take a GTI (which is a great car in its own right) and put all the R accessories on it (including a badge). I mean I can understand putting all the R body panels on, but leave the badge off please!
