The quest for a mk1 GTD badge
« on: June 05, 2012, 10:51:16 am »
I've always been a fan of turbo diesels in mk1's, and soon after I learned about the rare mk1 GTD Golf from Europe, I wanted that cool badge for my grille. I searched the web and found some european vendors that sold them, but with international shipping and euro to dollar exchange rates, it was gonna be really expensive to get my hands on one.



I talked to my buddy and he thought that maybe we could make one. We made a template off my friend's gti and then started working on it. Here is where we got:



Then, we decided to go ahead and make a sticker version of it, in red and white.



What do you think? If we could perfect the badge, would any of you be interested in one?

i would guess that almost everyone would be interested..

as long as they were made to look like an OEM piece..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.
