With or without

[Koa]

I have until monday to decide if I want my car debadged.
It's going into a local bodyshop to have the bumper stripped, tidied up and re painted and the spoiler is also having a re paint. I have asked the guys if they will de badge the car for me while it's there, but I told them I may change my mind, and that depends on you lot

I really like it badgeless, I think it fattens up the arse and takes your eye away from the big ugly fiat badge, but I am a little bit bothered about losing the Abarth badge

Suggestions and comments also welcome people

Debadge

But im wondering if the Fiat badge would look better left alone in the middle....:chin: But its a bit big, could you get a smaller one from somewhere?

 

[Koa]

It's that badge that I don't like more than any of the others. Your eyes are drawn towards it and if you squint your eyes it looks like a nose

 

[wolfracepunto]

lol

A smaller one though...??? I think boot lids that have the numberplate on it look plain without the centre badge. Mine wouldnt look right if I took the Skoda badge off! Too plain like I said......

But the mk2 Punto has a smooth boot with no numberplate and that looks with no badges

(All my opinions of course!!)

My Fiat badge is the older smaller rectangular one - s it's not quite so noticeable. I'm quite likely remove that later though.

Your Fiat badge is a big 'un which I would remove. I'd leave the Stilo and Abarth badges on though KoA.

Heres my backside............ VW 20V badge matches the "STILO" script well I think, Campione del Mondo Abarth badge in the centre (means champions of the world)

If you don't like the big Fiat badge but like the Abarth one why not remove the other badges and reposition the Abarth one were the now vacated Fiat one used to be.

Nice and subtle, try it on photoshop see what you think.

Well that was an option I considered Aaron, and I thought it looked quite nice myself.

Here's a picture of it here, but this is with tinted windows so it will look slightly better than the other pics anyway. Yep Tints are deffinately next on the list, especially with it debadged and with this kit on.

What do recon people ? Abarth in the middle or lose the badge and do the etched window effect

BTW i'm not worried about the reg plate being shown anymore because I think my car would be pretty difficult to clone now

 

[Luke]

Debadge, and use the window etch effect

 

[Steven]

Debadge. It looks cleaner.

Abarth badge in the centre

 

[wolfracepunto]

Yep go with the Abarth in the centre Good idea that.

what i want to know is why you got your stilo from somewhere called 'tractors' ?

 

[J333EVO]

Now that I see it, I really like it with the Abarth badge in the middle, looks really smart and subtle with only the people in the "know" know what it stands for.

go smooth, you dont want to take style advice of lexarse light lover taxi boy :devil:

 

[wolfracepunto]

I suppose I do bring it on myself.....staying on a Fiat website with a Skoda.


But Daves 50odd. And you really dont want to take style advice from him

 

[Bo~Select@]

Smooooooooth De badge ... I agree the badge in the middle looks like a nose. :yuck:

we took the p when you had a fiat though

 

[wolfracepunto]

we took the p when you had a fiat though

Suppose I deserved that aswell then!!

 

[stilosporting]

they all look interesting but in my honest opinion i really like the abarth badge where it is (on the right) and get rid of the rest! symmetry is a good thing but there is a time to go against it! not sure on the etched glass but window tints definatley a

but hey its your (extremely nice) project, go with what you thinks right

edit: btw out of the two options in the poll i say loose em all
