Have de-badged.....sporting its current shade of motorway beige the car looks pretty much like an oil burning A3 at a casual glance.

Now, leave badge-less or be a comedian / arse and add a TDI badge?

Discuss.

I would be tempted to put a 1.6 badge on it then let all the boy racers try to out sprint you thinking it is just a bog standard A3 with big bumpers

Had a boy racer up my chuff on the M5 earlier through the 50mph average speed limit section past Bristol.....he was in a TDI A4 Avant though and about 40 years old........

End of the 50, traffic clears and pulls left, he edged closer to me, I give it the berries making him turn to a small spec in the mirror, then back off, he catches up and crawls past looking at the car looking v confused and disappears off in the distance. Love it.

If you must, leave it badgeless. Not may people know what an RS3 is anyway so better to have the badge on. Would be interested in swapping badges to have a black or carbon fibre background rather than the red given I have black optics. Hmmm...

I've debadged mine a while ago ... and I'd just keep it debadged.

I love being a wolf in sheeps clothing

Sticking with the plain jane look.

Has anyone had a go at masking the graphic on the callipers without actually painting them?

Would you go that far?

I'd guess the discs are a giveaway...but as we said some people are clueless.

Not much point debadging mine as the plate is RS03 lol

My R32 golf was badged 2.0 TDi for the 5 years I had it

Best one was my MTM tuned S4 with 620 torques badged A4 1.8

100-120 in 5 seconds in top gear lol

Any one with a smart phone and a car app can pull all the details on your car any way

By the time they've entered your reg into the smart phone you would be two miles ahead of them.

I think de-badged will make it hugely stealthy especially from the rear as it doesn't have quads or big ovals. Then yes, goodbye pretty much every car on the road!

From the front it would just be the grill and mirrors to be changed to go really stealth. From the side you can't really do much as the discs and calipers would give it away (to people like us that is).
