Hi,

Yesterday I de-badged the 'LEON' part from the rear of my Chrono Yellow FR. I know this is not to everyone's taste but personally I think it rounds the back of the car off nicely and makes it look a bit less bitty.

The reason for this thread is to get other people's opinions as to whether they prefer it with or without as I they can be replaced. So far I prefer it though :)

Before...

After...

For anybody interested it is done very easily with a bit of hot water poured over the letters to soften the adhesive then I found the best way was to use some fishing line to drag down the back of them... anything left over can be taken off with tar remover :)

Cheers,
Paul

looks good bud, much better than having LEON printed on it, suits it well with the FR remaining, IMO

Yeah, I don't want it to look like I'm hiding the fact it is a Leon and don't want other people to not know it's an FR but I just think it rounds it off and makes it look smoother!

Thanks for the feedback :)

Only idiots make their car try and look something it isn't. Like the endless BMW drivers with "M" badges on the bootlid of their 320d's....

If you read my earlier post the r doesn't really allude to anything because it DOESN'T have a Cupra badge.
M3 just say M, nothing else. Hence it's different!

I guess Im the only one who likes the L E O N badge on the back then, maybe thats because there aint no other badge there lol. It stands out on my black leon i think but thats personal opinion.

And regarding putrid's badge issue, guys it is his car and he can badge it up as he likes as its up to him (not that I am saying that its cool to badge up Leons as cupras and FR's when they are not etc). No point in everyone making a comment to create an issue over as we have seen it in the past lol
