So heres my quick done ideas...
Idea A:
Idea B:
Idea C:
My other thoughts are
D: no badges at all, anywhere
E: GTd badges on the front doors, where the meridian badges are currently awaiting removal.
None of the Gtd positions on the rear take my fancy yet.
And FYI, I plan on painting the badges cossack grey, to go with other bits.
Or any other ideas?!

I think the lettering looks a bit odd with a mixture of old and new to be honest. If you're set on GTD as your badge, I'd grab one off a Golf
I prefer the subtle de-badged look anyway, never had them on my 6 or S16!

Hatch rear ends look cleanest without badges imo...everyone will know its a diesel when you coal them anyway....

Don't go much on any positions.
*edit* apart from cowgirl, so I don't have to do much

Just in my opinion, those badges look a tad tacky; perhaps try mixing up the original badges; GTi and dturbo

None, it's a shame they never badged up the 1.4's, else I'd say do that
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

I never see the point of under-badging cars as 1.4s or whatever.... The coal and tractor noise will be enough to make anyone realise it's not a 1.4....
