Debadge or not

[Deleted member 7729]

I've got a yellow MY03 Leon Cupra at the mo and am mulling debadging it.

What do people think?

 

[cordobabrendy]

all my badges are still intact. think it looks better as some 1.4's come with very little badging.

I'd go for the "minimalist" look, be proud of your badge and brand but hide the goodies until you hit the gas!

Debadge or re-badge in LCR style. Personally I don't really like the badging on a stock Leon.

Tbh, Ive removed the LEON on the back, and the side R badges (due to the fact that they were knackered) it was my intention to replace them, but im actually liking the smooth look, I especially like the back now, which just has the cuprar on the bottom right corner,

To Debadge a 1.4 is wrong ... but to Debadge a Cupra is kool.

See the resoning?

Debadge a 1.4 show you are trying to hide it's a 1.4, and you probably paid the extra for the cupra body kit, but cant afford the real thing.

Debadge a Cupra, show you dont need people to know it's a cupra, as you are not a show off... unless someone tries it on

I agree. I'm going to do this, just the boot catch and L E O N across the back, noting else.

If I do it, it'll be nothing but the boot catch there

i got rid off the horrible L E O N across my lcr an just have the cupra r badge in da corner, de-badge it mate

Big respect for people who do that because I couldn't Gotta admit it would be priceless to see the face on the stupid Corsa SXi driver who thought he might have had a chance.

just debadge the stupid leon on the boot thats what i did, pain in the arse to wash round and the leather allways snags on it..

No need to promote what you have ... unless someone think they can have a go... then you greacfully squeese them out of the picture

Ill be debadging mine at the weekend, looks much cleaner and will be better to wash, Just the boot catch and Fabia wiper at the back for me

i did mine this weekend
took off the "seat" "leon" and "20VT"
looks much better with just the cupra badge at the bottom left of the tailgate

 

[Legohead]

had to get rid of the L E O N badge, driving me mad trying to polish round it cloth kept catching

Kept the cupra and R badge bottom right tho as they're quite subtle

 

[Eternal Rage]

Get it done.
Smooths the look rear end immensely.
The badges make it look cluttered and fussy.
I am not hiding the fact mine is a Cupra, it actually has a 1.6 style rear end, no exhaust cut out etc... which makes it all the funnier when thats all the opposition see...

 

[Pabs]

i LOVE the smooth rear end after debadging - looks so much better. Dead easy to do, and wouldnt cost too much to put em back on if you really don't like it.
Or take the badges off 1 at a time and see what it looks like at each stage.

Every time someone mentions de-badging their car I think that sounds like a good idea, I do mine but never get round to it.

I'm going to do it this weekend now

Do I leave the TDI badge on though? Or will the cloud be enough to give me away?

 

[Deleted member 7729]

Mine will be put off for the mo as it's in at Snows after the some twat ran into the back of me a few weeks ago. Once it's back i'll check it out again etc

 

[RikH]

lol @ craig
the slowness will give it away
