Smooth tailgate

[Cuprasi]

I was thinking of removing the rear wiper on my Cupra, removing the Cupra letters and painting the Seat S black as its a black car. Does any one have any pics of a black mk4 with black seat badge? Also if anyone has pics of the handle removed completely that would be great

 

[adam kelly]

look at bertrum thread he has a black ibiza with a black badge might help

 

[AndrewJB]

Adlav smoothed his rear badge of completely

have a look at his readers ride for his old ibiza

been thinking about it lately myself vbut i dno, heres a couple of photoshops, 1 of my own car and the other a black cupra to get a better idea of your own

How would you open the boot? solenoid? Can you get the VW 3button remotes to work with that?

 

[ScottHmk4]

a solenoid would be wat i would use, i remember thats what my brother done when he had his smoothed boot on his saxo years ago, not sure about the remote, i doubt it as it would need programmed into the boot and my guess is that its a different boot catch that would need to be able to recieve a signal from the key, which im guessing wont come standard unless u origonaly have the remote function

There you go, this is my Ibiza with black badge on the back.

 

[Davecutts]

looks better with the logo's imo

Bertrum's looks good with a black badge

 

[Cuprasi]

Thanks for the replies every1 I do like the smoothed badge i done a photoshop of my car

I think im going to paint the badge black for now as getting the badge removed completely costs a bit more

The 3 button flip key remote works to unlock the boot but it doesn't pop it out as such, you still lift the handle.

IMO it looks better with the boot handle, and painting it black just looks as though someones attempted to spray it and failed. Same with painted black front badges, they just don't look good in my view.

Ive had mine done for almost a year now can check that out will
give you an idea as its also black. page 4 has picks of when it
was first fitted.

I personally like that, would look good with the red cars to have a black "s", not to sound stupid but best way to go around doing this ? also off subject the rear lights and windows are they standard?

 

[oneofthetwins]

how much would it cost to get the boot badge totaly smoothed off?

Would depend on the bodyshops prices. I was £200 then the price of a solinoid kit and springs on top of that so about 250 all in. hope that helps.
