Well apart from the Kompressor badge being a Mercedes one, they're quite good. I'd still rather have the originals tho...

unless you've actually got a kompressor on it!

where did the 'corrado' letters come from? they look like a Seat font to me...couple of cordoba (spelling??) badges?

I did sumat similar to mine, and then when I came on here I found a pic of it in what not to do to a corrado, it does look a bit much!

Well Kompressor is german for supercharger so.. technically its correct.

 

Nice and modern though..

[dinkus 10]

Well yeah, if you're speaking Mercedes, then "Kompressor" is a supercharger, so that's ok, but the font is still Mercedes ;)

not keen on the Kompressor badge, but the others look good... 8)

 

wouldn't put 'em on my car though, I'm after the street sleeper look... ;)

See what I mean?

I've seen the Kompressor badge on a MK2 Golf G60 (white) and it looked daft to be honest.

 

I dunno, maybe it's just me but that kind of thing is just gonna get chavs trying to race you all the time.....

Can I ask you where you got the New style G60 from thoBigEastsideTartanTimmeh?

 

I could do with one of them when I drop my G60 in my mk4 cabrio

cool..

G from GTI, 6 from 1.6, 0 from 2.0

 

That's my bet anyway... ;)

Henny I had worked that way out, just looks like he bought it done!

Much prefer the originals. Don't really see the point of badging a car with stuff from other marques/models :? Looks a bit naff when a C is kitted out in Wolfsburg, Porsche and Audi badges etc IMHO.

Yeah cheers guys for the comments. I bought the G60 made up badge by indeed buying Mk4 Golf, 1.6 and 2.0 badges. The Corrado one was made from two Seat Cordoba badges and the Kompressor one, as we all know, comes from Merc C / E-class models. Not sure whether to put them on or not. I might be persuaded to sell the G60 one tho' for a good price, as it would save you from buying three sets of badges gibber ? (think it cost me £18ish for the three :shock:),

 

Cheers,

Think the 'A' in Corrado looks to much like the 'R' so at a glance it looks like it says CORRRDO or COAAADO... shame though as an updated badge would look nice on the back of a C but these look worse than the orriginals IMO

[bristolbaron 10]

Not keen on 3 different fonts together, looks clumsy IMO.

Saw a Rallye last year with Kompressor badge changed to Impressor - made me smile, but i'm sure it's not original!

Indeed, bring out the GiT badges again :)

 

Like the G60 badge but it is a VW descendant wearing it, not keen on the kompressor badge though.

BigEastsideTartanTimmeh wot do you conside to be a good price?

The guy who owned it before me, badged it up as a GTi so I am a 3rd of the way there.

Ive gone for the old chop up supercharged to make charged up, i rekon thats ace plus it looks like its meant to be there

[potatonet 0]

if they would make a CORRADO in mk4 style I might do it, I would have to do all of the badges tho.

Plagiarizing Guy Hartley me thinks

 

I thought of doing it too!
