I’m thinking of just taking the GTI badging off all together. That’s why I didn’t paint them yet. Didn’t want to waste my time…Decisions decisions :ohnoes

Sarcasm either doesn’t travel North well, or it doesn’t work well set in type. Here’s a tip though, if you don’t like my car, don’t drive it. BANG! Problem solved kiddo.

Gotcha. For anybody that’s interested (nobody, I assume) I took the yellow off the front emblem and painted it just white. I also took off all of the GTI badging and dremmel’ed the flat parts of the grill behind it.

Well, add some wintry mix that builds up on the inside of the door jam, sprinkle in some gotta-get-to-work-by-530AM, and a final dash of stubbornness. It was dark, the door wouldn’t open all the way and I figured it was snow (last winter) in the way, NOT ice in the door jam. Bent the hell out of it.

It’ll get fixed eventually, but I’m focusing on engine work right now, then I’ll worry about the door, the two scratches that were there when I bought it, and the chips of paint missing from the hood.

Haha. I bet I’d win since I removed the GTI badges…Weight reduction!
