Do i/Dont i?

youngsyd · 19-11-2007, 14:29

I have got my steels for my Fabia, and i am considering talking the vrs badges off the exterior to give it a " what the hell was that" kinda impression...

Do i do it, or not?

Cheers!

skudmissile · 19-11-2007, 14:50

I removed the back but left the front.

Remove them, it only adds to the what the **** was that.

Skodaboy1983 · 19-11-2007, 14:58

I would keep them mate.

Nobody gives a toss what you're driving.
If they do,they are very very sad.

Regardless of the badges they're only gonna think "that was a diesel Fabia". So I'd only remove them if you, personally, want to.

Mort · 19-11-2007, 16:12

But if you do take them off, replace the back one with an SDI badge. That's at least be funny

youngsyd · 19-11-2007, 16:15

1.2 htp...!

ultra_joel88 · 19-11-2007, 17:46

Couldn't agree more. Think about it, if you are driving and you see a porche, merc, or friggin' ferrari do you really stare longingly at it

No?........well nor will anyone at a Skoda Fabia.

Harsh but true.

oilburninnut · 23-11-2007, 18:38

people do care tho i have been abused for passing people in my skoda,most hate them,de badge and put the steels on sdi badgiing would finnish the look

youngsyd · 23-11-2007, 20:35

Nar not gunna do it now. Took the steels off after all the comments on the post, and im not doing much more to it now.

Got the Carbon Splitter done though....!!

oilburninnut · 23-11-2007, 20:39

don't listen to the keyboard warriors,do what you want and like to your car

stuno1 · 23-11-2007, 23:19

I took off the skoda wording and the skoda circle badge and put the VRS badge in the middle of the boot, also changed front grille and kept VRS on the front grille. Not to disguise the fact it is a skoda at all...Well proud of my skoda. Just think aesthetically it looks better. You will be amazed how many people dont know what car it is though! Keep the VRS badges, looks the nuts.

cjb · 23-11-2007, 23:37

I've though it would be fun to fit steelies with wheeltrims, and standard bumpers, take the badges off, and remap, then have some fun.

You're turning into the exact opposite of a ch av, whatever that is?

Go the full hog, and go and have a blue rinse and get down to specsavers for a pair of bottle bottom bi-focals too. Tartan rug on the back seat for the white scottie dog, and you'll be there!

Agreed, you go ahead and do what you think is best, I just gave my opinion....like you asked

Yep the Fab vRS is a cracking car for the money and I love mine BUT at the end of the day it is a Skoda Fabia with a 1.9 diesel engine, so you see when compared to some other cars it really aint nothing special (to us owners maybe, to others......nah

)

Anyway, happy de-badging....or whatever it is you are doing

Basil · 08-12-2007, 15:40

I de-badged except for the vRS's and added a TDI - proud that it's a skoda and a diesel, but it's fun seeing guys who think they know about cars trying to figure out what it is exactly (not many skodas out here at all..)

oilburninnut · 08-12-2007, 15:45

i'll post some pics of mine after it comes out of the bodyshop on friday,all repaired and with extra little touches

Good to hear that you're turning a lemon into lemonade Gary - what have you had done to the SSE now?

faboka vrs · 08-12-2007, 16:11

I always thought about removing the vrs bumpers as well as the badges
