Badgeless Grill....

[MarkJ]

.... too chav??
I was thinking about it but my mate reckons that its far too chavy, just want some opinions really.
Thanks

quite a common and classic mk2 mod so dont panic

if you go for the mesh look be prepared for a few people commenting 'nice saxo'

there is a barred badgeless grille from fk automotive that is also quite smart

 

[MarkJ]

Don't really like the mesh ones, was thinking more the bar type FK one. Might have to be done.

I have the badgeless FK grill. Was only about £20 from eBay and does look a lot smarter than both the standard grill and meshed ones.

You can see it above. I like it anyway, although prepare for the 'Nice Polo' comments!

 

[ibiza_streg]

Defo get a badgeless grill!
I think nice black mesh looks better than the slat ones and the added bonus of costing alot less!
I stuck a little seat badge on mine and I think it looks mint!

 

[Tom B]

Sorry, but I agree with your mate.

 

[Jamin Berry]

Go for the slates.

But as soon as you loose your S badge, as previously mentioned, be prepared for it to be confused with a polo or saxo

Ive meshed mine and it looks the same as ibiza_steg. Definitely a good mod to do. Makes the car look meaner!

Before I bought the grill, I contemplated painting the Seat badge black, a popular mod on Mk4's.

Id say either the FK one or black mesh with the mk3 cupra badge (the one that says cupra and has the flag at the end) placed on the right hand side as you look at the car. Thats assuming that yours is a cupra?

Yeah is a cupra. Think i know whick badge you mean, still cant make my mind up. Might just do it then change it back if i dont l dont like it.

does your mate refer to everything that they don't like as chav?

De-badging the grill is not chav!

Mine isn't de-badged because I quite like the fact its a Seat!

exactly what i was thinking, don't run the risk of people thinking your car's a saxo or poo-lo, be proud its a seat!

HAha. Its been almost a year since i meshed mine and never had anyone question the make of the car......until today
At the lights a group of teens (must be 16/17 year olds) asked me what car it was? OF course i told them Seat Ibiza lol.

Yeah he does pretty much I don't want to hide the fact that its a seat, far from it, just like the look of some of the cars i have seen that have them.

 

[Electro Ted]

Mine is debadged on the front.. but that's only because I bought it like that. If I were to do it myself I'd buy the FK one.. Just for continuity.

And it's not chav at all.. it's a very subtle mod that can make all the difference.

FK debadged grille
(approx. £30 delivered on ebay)

thats how it looked on my car -- never a polo/saxo in its life

 

[AlpineWhite]

mine's got an FK but i think i'd quite like with the seat badge and the GTi badge on.

 

[Mckellar]

'hayz' on here with the dark green 8v has a debadged grill with the GTI red badge stuck on it and it does look good, ive saved the picture to my pc so il upload it for you to show how i mean

 

[roly]

i've meshed mine (done it with all previous mk2's aswell)

i am now tempted to convert it back to the standard grille but im not sure why
