What do you think? I'm leaning towards whipping it off... gives a cleaner, more uniform look I reckon.

I'm all about the extensive modifications right now - I took the dealer sticker out of the rear window earlier today!!!!

Debadge.

It looks cleaner. Plus it makes the car lighter so you'll save money on fuel, and your brake pads and tyres will last longer

ps. Not to mention it'll be faster too!

Haha I hadn't thought about that one! I'll be onto a right winner with that combined with a bee-sting aerial then.

Rebadge with a Megane badge and watch in your rear view mirror for 'WTF faces'

Definately debadge! Car looks alot cleaner afterwards.
It's a cheap and easy mod to do, but it definately looks one of the best!

The clio badge has pins on the back, to debadge you'll have to fill them in, hence why most clios still have that badge.

In silver, why?

I just shone a torch in a tiny hole at the bottom of the boot, I can see one of the pins. Balls.

You sure you don't want some holes in your boot mate? It's black and if you stood a few feet back and squinted your eyes you wouldn't notice.

You could get some ducting behind them as a cold air feed for when you're bombing it in reverse.

Look for the new style RS badges found on Clio 20s and meganes. They go over the holes and makes the back end look new and fresh!

I used to take my old Clio to a few shows and there was always a couple of clios there with that badge removed. You certainly can see the holes and it looks tacky as fuck. Good desicion to leave it on.

Debadging and leaving holes is a proper council estate mod.

It's like taking the VW badge off the front of your car, realising there's a big gaping cut-out where it should be and sticking a bonnet bra over the top hoping nobody will notice.
