Spaceback Ambition - Rear End Refresh

Featured Replies

Hi All, 

 

Just running in my new daily, a TSi Sapceback Ambition in quartz grey, and I'm loving it so far but always knew I would look to tweak it cosmetically. Has anyone had any luck in debadging the rear and reworking the emblems to look a little more updated and modern? Obviously I can't adjust the scale but I think with some kerning it could look good. 

Here's a mockup of what I'm thinking, it would be great if any of you had experience and could share any tips. I'm due to get the roof wrapped in gloss black to tie in with the rear glass as well as the chrome surround on the front end.

Also if anyone has suggestions on wheel fitment to fill the arches a bit better than the stock 16s I'm all ears. 

Cheers from Ireland,

The Skoda - Rapid badging will come off with heating and then some tooth floss.

I seem to recall the Skoda logo will leave 2 holes when it comes off, so they'll need filling before you put the lettering on.

 

Alternate Skoda logos (different colours/designs) online at superskoda.

Wheels. 

The stock 17 size is 7x17 et46, but aftermarket 7.5 or 8 wide may fill the arches more.

There is a photo thread on here with a few modified cars, also the Rapid Projects section. Cars pictured on here with OZ, BBS, and various VAG OEM wheels in 17 or 18 inches.

I'll put a link on in a bit.

All of the badges will come off leaving a smooth surface. Just be careful  that you don't scratch the glass when removing them. Here's a picture of mine after I debadged it.
