De-badging and Paint fade

[Sparkie]

Hi, advise needed!
When you de badge the rear of the car, will you notice a difference in the paint colour.
Mine is an 02 model in grafite grey, paint is good but worried there will be a difference if I remove them?
Any one have experience with this would be good to hear about it.

I had some colour difference with mine...51 plate...flash red you can notice it of you really look for it but apart from that not really noticeable...

May be able to machine polish it out...but it doesnt bother me so im going to leave it...

Thanks for that, probably going to do it ,fingers crossed.
Yours is red, always fades a bit quicker too,I still have a mk 2 golf gti in red or should I say pink now. But then that was a 1989 paint, which was not the best.
Cheers
