Opions on colour coding grill s badge

[simon34]

I have just painted the boot release handle that i got from adam (ad lav) in black magic to match the car hopefully we will get some dry weather so that i can swap it over soon . But now i am wondering whether i should do the one on the front aswell now what do you guy's think

having not seen a black S badge i cant really say but i reckon id prefer the silver. It just ads a bit of extra contrast to the middle that would be lost with black.

yep sort of what i thought might go and cover it with black tape first and see what it looks like in black

 

[R1ch85]

[rashcupra]

leave the front the badge makes it stand out and with the grill surround chrome makes the fr stand out from others leave it

I saw an Ibiza with the grille & badge blacked out the other day. It just looked to me like it had fallen off.
IMO......de-badge yes............black badge no.

mine is a 1.4 sport... i changed the grilles and mirror covers to look like an FR but the chrome round the badge came with the car

i have thought about a badgeless front grille but i dont think it would suit the car

 

[gazjones]

yea few others had the chromr grill and really makes the car stand out
