No turbo? How about a jet engine instead? Replaces the stock VW logo on the 2004 VW Golf. Might work with other VWs?

I made a replacement VW logo for a coworker with a 2004 VW Golf, but then had an idea… and created a mini jet engine intake. The shape is an oval since I just projected the angled circle forward - it should wind up with the centerline of the “turbine” parallel to the ground when installed.
No, the turbine doesn't actually spin. While that would be seriously cool, it's way beyond the time I wanted to invest in this project.
Uses the mounting hardware from my standard VW logo.
Still no photos of it mounted because he hasn't gotten around to it. Probably not in a huge rush. 😆 Maybe someone else will print it and get a photo of it installed on their car before he gets one, and I'll be glad to post that so folks can see what it looks like.
Printing instructions
It's possible this could print without supports with the back flat on the print bed, but when I printed it, I stood it up with supports from the print bed. I also printed the faces behind the turbine black to make it look a little better. It's completely a decorative piece, so print it however you want.
I printed this in PLA since I had a roll I was trying to kill off and I was pretty sure if he got around to mounting it, it wouldn't stay on there for long, so the lack of heat resistance wouldn't be much of an issue. If you are going to print it and leave it on, I'd suggest a material with more heat resistance, PETG or possibly ASA for the improved UV resistance.
