Default Clean or badged **** End??

As some of you may remember reading I had a bit of bad luck in the recent high winds. A roof tile fell onto the spoiler of my scoob. I had to get it done on the insurance and subsequently had to replace the bootlid too!

Now....

What I want to know is should I replace all the badges or leave it debadged and clean?

I have a pretty good idea of what I want but I wouldnt mind a few other opinions...


BADGED






CLEAN






Plesae let me know what you all think looks best in your opinion

P.S Do you prefer my new spoiler?

Dont ask much do I!!!!

Was thinking just the S U B A R U badge....

The STi badge is off def cos its only a WRX.

I've decided on getting rid of the WRX badge too.

its just the S U B A R U badge i cant decide on.

Just add a WRX badge opposite the boot lock to balance it out a bit then? I reckon it will look good...but the S U B A R U badge is a right pita to clean around.

I did think about getting the lock removed too, but knowing me, something would go wrong with the boot release and I would be buggered..!

I much prefer badged, even if only S U B A R U, but I do like corradoboy's idea too. I went to buy a 3 month old WRX, but changed my mind when I saw it had been debadged. (Although the towbar didn't help either). It just didn't look right. It was as if it had just come back from the bodyshop but not been finished!

Bought the badges from a local performance styling and accessory shop for £1.50 a letter, fitted myself in under 10 minutes with a length of cotton, a 2' steel rule and some lo-tack masking tape.

This is the place

I'd just stick the 'WRX' back on, I prefer it without the 'Subaru' on the back to be honest. I'm thinking about taking mine off at some point this week.

I do prefer your new spoiler too pal.

Badges have to come off, they are overkill. Even Subaru think so as they replaced the stupid single letters with a small badge instead in the center of the boot.

I would keep the badges, but agree the S U B A R U badge really is a pain to clean around!

Removed SUBARU and WRX from mine, just left STi.

Much prefer the less-crowded boot.

Sorry to be a daft tw*t lads, but now you mention it I quite like the clean shaven look.

How do I get the badgers off ?

Fishing line or dental floss. The garage did mine.

Mine came around from bad circumstances. I've had to have a new spoiler and bootlid so I was holding on till I decided what look to go for.

In all honesty I'm still undecided so keep the comments coming please

Keep all the badges as they should be, looks bl**dy fow without them, you are spoiling a nice backend. Leave as should be.
