He sends them out in batches every month I think. I ordered right at the beginning so had to wait a month.

Yeah I have. Think it will look good but not gonna highly mod the car so decided against it as rear wiper is needed occasionaly. If I was doing a lot to the car it would be off already.

Not sure to get a black rear badge or not. Should be getting one colour coded but haven't heard anything yet.

I think the chrome works well with the blue. Paint the grey bits black, just to add contrast. That might look good

I agree I do like the silver on the blue. But then black matches the front and all the black on the rear (wiper and window). I've kept the black front badge to match the grills. Current pics will be up soon. Hopefully I will hear from the guy colour doing my colour coded one.

Whats everyones elses opinions. Kept as it is or hopefully colour coded or a black one.

Don't get a black rear badge mate, I think they look awful on all coloured cars.

Get the rear colour coded and keep the VW emblem silver, without a doubt.

I decided to do a quick photoshop and its put my mind at rest. The black didn't match well. So sticking with boring old standard or hopefully a colour coded one.

Just a small update.

Decided to replace my Sony Headunit with another Sony one. This time USB at rear not on the front, to make it more neat.

Cheers mate.

I like it. Fits in very well. A ordinary black badge would look no where as good as that.

Here's a couple of pics of my new head unit. Nothing amazing. Just a Sony CDX-GT929U. Not too different to my previous model. No Bluetooth but hidden USB which looks a lot better. Found a perfect spot for it too.
