Apologies! I was on my phone and the flag was too small for me to realise it wasn't Oz. Sad to hear the driving is worse :eek:
Yes. Like a lot of things, our driving ability is dumbed down too. I used to be a driver Testing Officer too about 15 years ago.
But, I believe we're a bit better than Russians and Chinese drivers.

The right turn rule used to catch me out when I lived in Timaru. Did it to a police officer one day, he stopped me, said oh your a Pom and let me carry on!

Go with just the Carbon. Sell the badge and 300 to someone who has bought a new 290

If it was my car, I would of stuck the Carbon badge lower down where it is on the SC/5 door and then blacked out the Cupra/300 badge to match.

Sorry, as much as I loved your Mk3, can't say I like the badge being lower down, doesn't suit it on the ST. Or its just to different to what I'm used to.

I do have the option of getting a 300 badge in black, probably from the same place you got your 420 badge. Was tempted to get a 380 badge (for the torque figure) just to troll people haha.


If I'm honest completely debadged is working for me the most at the moment.

Could you let me know where you can get the custom badges from? I’d quite like to get a 370 badge for mine

I'd go for option 4 with the black flag. Really works well with the whole grey/black/carbon theme.

For me it’s not about modding it’s about making the car look and sound right and put a smile on your face when ever I drive my car.
When I bought my Leon it had some upgrades it had been remapped egr delete coil overs decat and some gold alloys and wheel spacers and a poo exhaust lol i do have plans to change it how I would like it

AZ Tech on Facebook. Based in France.

They’re €35 which is about £30! :O

It is mate, just for everybody's info the badges are made of metal so they need to be slightly bent to fit the boot or else they are completely straight.

Due to the weight of them in the summer, when it gets hot the sticky back tape melts and cant hold the badge on. luckily I found mine on the floor behind car before driving off.

It puts a smile on my face when it spins up in second on a dry road, and when it makes ordinary cars look like they've gone into reverse.

I just find it strange when ever I go out in my car people with newer cars and that they think are quick want to race an old yellow car with a sporty exhaust but most off the time they are always in my rear view mirror with there head down driving through a cloud off black smoke lol and i have a big smile on my face lol

The last one was a young lad in a 911 revving his engine at the lights at the side off me and when the lights went green I was gone and left him driving through a cloud off black smoke lol may be he was not a good enough driver to plant his foot lol 2miles up the road he pulled along side me to turn right and I was going straight on and he could not look at me and had his head down lol
