I haven't tried, but thought the same.

I am going to do the wing mirrors though...

Do these inserts just unclip off?? Don't want to tug on them and damage them!

Have you considered doing the bottom insert, but leaving the small rectangular bit where the GTI badge is alone?


....Fiddly, but with a hairdryer, surgical scalpel, and the latest carbon vinyl which is improved, it should be do-able.

it just pulls off - Be firm but gentle (she said).

Yes, just pull them firmly and slowly from the top.  They fit into soft rubber so if you are too cack handed you wil tear the rubber.

....Thanks  :drinking:

No, it's not OSIR - It was someone making them in America (can't think of the name right now except that he was called Charles). I arranged a Group Buy of some real carbon Mk5 front grill and boot lock badges and he decided to thank me for the business I introduced.

Is the OSIR DSG surround a "stick on" part or do you need to remove any cockpit parts, then replace with the surround? :happy2:

Kudos should be given to Mr Morty for ingeniously thinking up of another way to wrap your steering wheel badge. I like!  :happy2:
