I've never thought about it before but saw a few pics today of people who have done it and it does look a bit cleaner.

The Vauxhall badge does not bother me one bit, so it isn't about that.

Whether the VX badge bothers you or not, the first thing people think when they see it missing is that it does bother you. Leave it on.

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

I don't think I'll take either off but it's nice to get some opinions. The small badge may come off eventually to be replaced with a new one as it looks slighty tarnished.
 
Oh and I've just bought a hardtop too, looks like this:

My car is a fractionally different shade of blue though.

Nozzer - No gold badges, I don't drive a Subaru ;)

ahh thats your car is it? park at uni of essex on the grass by south courts everyday :D nice motor, i think taking the vauxhall badge off with the vx220 on looks the best.

Yeah, small world eh?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but you were at BUKC Whilton Mill test day today wern't you? Or your car was at least. Thought, wow... I've seen that number plate before :p

Yeah, I was, just got in 5 minutes ago.

It was awesome fun, the first time I've done outdoor karting before, steadily improved throughout the day. I don't think I would have been troubling the top 50% of people but practice time really counts for a lot.
 
There were a few incidents but I managed to keep out of the way of them and was only hit by someone once. Even the worst damage I imagine would only cost a couple of quid to fix. We had 2 karts fail, one broken exhaust mount and the other some mystery problem, it wouldn't bump start and we ended up pushing it the whole length of the pit lane 3 times :(
 
Following a nice spin...

For anyone not familiar with karting, the thing on the left with raising arms is a pusher kart, used to push start the karts on the track.
