Hmm.. Re-badge or not?

Featured Replies

I know I'm always one of the ones that encourages people to de-badge their cars but I'm thinking of sticking one back on my car again!

What d'ya think? (Held on with Blu-tak for the pic!)

Nah, leave it off the clean look is best :)

leave it off IMHO unless maybe in the centre :)

I think at the right it kind of balances out the briskoda sticker

Not doing it for me either.

I also think you should get a smoother looking rear wiper.

Leave it off.

Gonna completely debadge my tailgate at the weekend, with another smooooth mod already under way. ;)

Good idea, that - and one SWMBO won't notice.

I've got the aero rear wiper off the Mk5 Golf which is available from VAGparts for around

That's what I gonna put on the Fabia. :thumbup:

They look so much neater than standard wipers, I've got one on the Ibiza too, I just want some aero wipers for the front of Ibiza now.

Nice!

Is it this one on VAGParts, Aero Rear Wiper part no 6Q6998425?

Is it this one on VAGParts' date=' Aero Rear Wiper part no 6Q6998425?

From VW the 3 seperate part numbers are:

6Q6 955 707A - arm

6Q6 955 435A - cap

6Q6 955 425A - blade

Looking at VAGparts it would appear the part you have quoted is correct.

Ordered :thumbup:

Also have you thought about getting the chrome trim that fits in the recess on the plastic trim above the number plate? I believe it was standard on some of the later Octavia's.

Stop encouraging me!! :D:D

The front wiper arms from the 9N Polo won't fit the Fabia, but not sure about the Ibiza.

It's a shame, as they look really nice.

I expect it's only a couple of quid from the dealer and will match the trim on the edge of your hatch nicely.

Like this, although it doesn't stand out too well on silver:

I thought about getting that but thought it might be too much bling.

Yeah could be.

I'm sure i've seen these on standard cars so should be available from a dealer, if it's only a few quid it could be worth trying to see if you like it.

There's this one as well - very shiny!

By the way - I'm surprised you haven't got tints - they look great on a black car.

I can never make my mind up on tints, they do look good but if I did then I'd want the fronts doing as well. That's where the problem lies as I don't want the hassle associated with having tints on the fronts. Even light tints are gonna look dark on my car.

I suppose it depends how dark you have them - mine are 50/35/20% front to back and don't look excessively dark. From the inside you don't notice them much at all.

I see cars every day with much darker tints all round.

Depends if you're unlucky enough to encounter an over-keen Mr Plod.
