I know some people steal any VAG 'T' badges so that they can stick them on VW Boras to make them BORATs. While this is despicable, it is slightly amusing.

I actually bought another set of volvo lettering so I could make it a Lolvo.
Never bothered changing it in the end

Finally debadged it tonight

De badged the Volvo but you can still see the outline in the paint, even after polishing with a rotary, I assume mined faded with age (54) did you have any concerns?

De-badging rarely looks good.

Mucky_Pup · 28 Apr 2011 at 22:14

Took the Focus badge off of mine, left the ST badge though.

I haven't yet, it looks ok atm but then I haven't washed it yet.

Normally I don't, I would definitely not have removed the Audi badge but like I said the A4 badge was wonky so that was the main reason I removed it

you want to pretend it isnt a base diesel?

Wouldn't a 2.0 make it not a base diesel? The base diesel being the 1.9...

Point remains.

Dr House · 29 Apr 2011 at 14:01

I have done mine, I think it looks nicer plus most people do not know what you have under the hood.

Disco Boy · 29 Apr 2011 at 14:02

You've lost me here. Or was "base" referring to trim rather than to engine choice?

[TW]Fox · 29 Apr 2011 at 14:03

'Base' meant 'the noisy 4 pot one rather than the nice one they did'. I'd forgotten they did the even more terrible 1.9 TDI in the facelift A4.

If I had a 2.0 diesel I'd take the badge off as well

They offered it until the B8 (2008) facelift in the A4 and until 2009 in the A3. Despite the 2.0 also being available from 2003 people actually chose the 1.9

Debating whether to de-bage mine..

I've already replaced the numberplate surround with a smaller one, and I'll take off the dealer sticker when I get round to claying.

DM · 29 Apr 2011 at 16:17

Leave it alone, yours looks good. Maybe even black badges, that would be good too.

Cookeh · 29 Apr 2011 at 17:32

TTIUWP!

@mjt I'd contrast DMs opinion here, I think they look out of place :confused:

[TW]Fox · 29 Apr 2011 at 17:50

They look out of place in the picture as they've not been fitted properly.

I'd be asking why. Repaired rear end damage or something?

Also the base 2.0 is only 140bhp where mines 170bhp
