One from the starting point of our Waterfest Cruise (Toronto to New Jersey)

Debadged the trunk...Real happy on how it came out. For those looking to do it.

1)Clean the area with hot soap and water
2)Use your moms blow dryer to heat up the emblems
3)Use 20lbs fishing line to sneak it behind the emblem and glue backing
4)Works best with two ppl, so as one person is hitting it with the heat the other can slide the line behind the emblem and glue
5)Once the emblems are off use Goo Gone Automotive/Meguiars tar and bug remover to help get rid of the left over adhesive. Meguiars worked better.
6)Keep hitting it with the heat as your scrubbing off the glue backing with a micro fiber towel
7)DO NOT USE your fingers nails to scrap off the glue... as I did, this did leave scratches. Someone recommended doing this
8)Make sure to have a bucket of hot water and soap on stand by to keep washing the area.
9)Use Carnauba wax on the area after your done soaping and watering down the removed glue.

I have an 08 model with paint in great condition and it left an ever so slightly shadow effect of where the emblems use to be. The waxing really helped tone it down. It can only be seen at certain angles when the sun hits it.

**** The biggest thing in removing the glue is to keep heat on it.

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

I used a blowtorch until the emblem was hot then just pulled them off... no paint damage and didnt have any adhesive left behind. Then just some wax and done

[thygreyt]

i waited till a hot day, its florida... so one day it was all day under the sun at +100 F, and it was all mushy... i just pulled, and removed the remaining glue thing with paint thinner and water... as my body shop recommended.

[rabbitlvr]

not to be harsh or a hater, because i have an unbiased love to all grey cars (even more unbiased to PG)... but you won 2nd of class with an unfilled notch? dont know what to make of the competition.

AHAHHA that's the stuff. If we don't hold fellow V-Dubbers to higher standards who will?

[thygreyt]

it looks like he did something on the interior, nice wheels, some low, shaved front... but no notch fill...

i read once: "1% of the population cares about cars, and they feel that a "stock height" car is ugly and well... high!
but 100% of the population will notice that you have an unfilled hole/notch in the front.

[tchilds]

unfilled notches are so ricey. it reminds me of those big fake plastic air scoops people glue to their hoods for looks.

its a great temporary solution though to having a HOLE there. my rabbit is stock w/a cracked rear bumper i can't really talk much. i'm 100% go and zero show though w/cars these days. been soooo many years since i got a speeding ticket. last time i almost got pulled over the cop actually snagged the GTR i was running instead and just let me keep on going.

Ill tell you how, If I was a judge Id score him high as well. First not the lowest stance, but it is stanced. The wheel go great with the rest of his setup. He has a sticker bombed "wink" mirror, badgeless grille, I know his notch isnt shaved, but at least he utilized the fill piece, and more importantly its COLOR Matched . However dont know about 2nd but in the top 5 for sure, but its the mk6 class, who knows the quality of the others

[pennsydubbin]

there aren't many mk6 cars at the shows yet...at least around here. There were only 2 mk6 jetta's there not sure how many golf/gti's. I still think its a clean looking car.

[nothing-leaves-stock]

shirts we made this year.

[joshGOLF2.5]

hey guys i fell asleep early and just saw all these respnses haha

i personally did not think i was going to place at all, i just showed my car because i didnt want to park in the lot and exhibition was 5$ less. In defense the notch will be filled im just a broke 19 year old college student haha

As for my car itself..i guess you could say only a few of us had some character while a bunch of others just had low and wheels. Not saying thats a bad thing or anything. I was just stoked because i was the only 2.5 golf in the section and beat out like 8 gti's.

[tchilds]

its all good. i doubt most of the people talking bout yo notch have theirs filled either

including my stock self

[nothing-leaves-stock]

i had mine filled berfor in drove mine

[joshGOLF2.5]

i had mine filled berfor in drove mine

lol if i didn't have to drive my car i wouldn't.

how bout everyone here who hates my notch sends me some $ and we can split the bill

[timmiller05]

Or put the stock grill until YOU have money

[joshGOLF2.5]

lol the stock grill was alot worse..emblem was black/red. To be honest i don't mind the notch since its colormatched and all but i do plan on getting the hood filled so everyone calm down

[jaja123]

I personally do not like the debadged front grilles

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

Your classy answer would be to sell the badgeless grille and invest in a JSW grille

[jaja123]

I thought the jsw had the same grill I think its just the silver strips that are different right?

[mikez.]

last time i almost got pulled over the cop actuallysnagged the GTR i was running instead and just let me keep on going.

please tell me you weren't racing the gtr in your gti/golf.

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

please tell me you weren't racing the gtr in your gti/golf.

I know somebody who has a Mkgtr killer Actually Ive touched 4, 3 Mk4's 2 being 700+whp R32's, the 3rd being a insane 600hp 20th, and a 440hp Mk6 GTI

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

I thought the jsw had the same grill I think its just the silver strips that are different right?

Yea what Im saying is he ruined his stocker to the point he doesnt want to use it, get the JSW grille because all those guys get the GTD grille, and alot of GTI guys want the JSW grille

[nickbeezy]

In defense the notch will be filled im just a broke 19 year old college student haha

congrats on placing
i feel your pain. im also a broke college student saving up for long periods of time to get my car where its at

i ran without the notch for a while and everybody hating on the vortex said to fill it


so i got it done
