| Briskodian | Additional vRS badging? Anyone considering adding a TFSI or a TDI badge to their vRS? Haven't seen the vRS TDI yet but i imagine there is nothing to distinguish the 2 versions. I see the Leon FR uses the TFSI and TDI badging on the side, a silver T and the FSI in red and a red TDI badge. |

| Re: Additional vRS badging? You can tell by the colour of the brake calibers the difference between a petrol and a diesel vrs. Petrol definately green and diesel red (i think) |

| Briskodian | Re: Additional vRS badging? Not into the whole debadging thing myself. Why would you want to remove the vRS badge? Anyhow i agree that too much is as bad but just a thought if you want to show its the petrol or diesel model. |

| Re: Additional vRS badging? The whole badging thing gives a real insight into driver psychology. I have read that in the UK drivers of smaller engined BMW 3 series (eg 318i) will opt for a de-badge whereas in Germany the opposite is true; the 330i drivers are more likely to de-badge. Also note that even though the Golf is available with the 170 diesel, it isn't badged GTI (GT ?). Personally I think the diesel doesn't deserve the vRS badge! Well I've lit the blue touch paper.....
