Very Nice ! I hesitated when selecting mine between Silber Grau and Titan Grau... Well, that leaves me even more in doubt... But isn't the Titan Grau of this new series a little bit darker than it used to look like (looks nicer though)? Did you notice any change in the inside of the car (pics please) ?
Congrats for the pics !!

i myself was thinking of debadging but haven't yet because it feels like i'm trying to hide the engine size to fool others. Few of my friends disagree and think it looks cleaner. It's really up to you and what you're going to think everytime you see the car. Anyways, best way of debadging would be to either let the car sit in the sun until the exterior gets pretty hot or just taking a blowdryer and heating the decal so that the adhesive will loosen a bit. After it has, take either fishing string or dental floss and wedge it in between the decal and your car then move it back and forth like you're sawing through. Take it slow be gentle and it should be ok. If there is residue left after debadging, take some goo-gone or whatever is equivalent to it and rub a tiny bit on until it's clean.

Congrats. Nice car. I like the collour.
I guess I'm so far the only one on the debadge side. I am obviously not embarressed about my engine choice, but it looks way better/cleaner without it.
I debadged mine almost immediately. Actually I had it debadged at my father in law's body-shop.
