Hey,
I’ve got a GTI+ and would like to get some black emblems for the car. Having a hard time finding any for this model online, can anyone help me out?
I’ve emailed auto village a few days ago, and just sent one VWmidlands way. Just putting the feelers out in case someone knows where to look.
Cheers!

Re: Black emblems
The model is still pretty new so places probably haven't started doing them yet BUT I doubt anyone will do one for the front anytime soon (if at all) due to the front badge containing the radar for emergency braking (and ACC if your car is equipped) which would make it very expensive and probably a safety liability for a 3rd party to do.

Re: Black emblems
I've seen it done on current model polos where the rear emblem was wrapped and the front was covered with 90% window tint.
As already stated the front emblem now houses the radar so cannot be changed to the older style emblem that is embossed/3d. Any covering needs to allow the radar to pass through it.

Re: Black emblems
Thanks for the info lads. Didn’t realise the radar and ACC was in there, though that makes sense now as it has that Perspex cover over the badge! Will look into a wrap and tint, thanks again!
