Wounder....

Thought it would at least fit flush. Might use it as a temp and get the original painted up.

Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but new member and this seems the most appropriate thread for my question!
I found this on eBay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/331047036163
And I'm wondering if it will fit on my 07 plate edition 30? From what I've read I should be able to take off the old one and fit this straight to the boot closing mechanism while still on the car??
Cheers in advance for any help.

4ndy, thanks for the reply. It's £30.90 delivered, is that a good price? So will it just clip on or will I have to stick it on?
Cheers.

Will need double  sided foam tape 1mm thick 5mm wide   £30 is a bit steep  I'm sure you can find one on ebay.  Black ones are easier to find

I'll keep looking for a cheaper one then. Good to know it will fit though. I've got a black one at the moment on a black car, but I'm a big fan of the chrome on black combo!

That does look real good mate, is it a MK6 emblem? I still can't get the chrome on black out of my head. It's nothing to do with it being stock, I just love the way it looks. I also think a brushed aluminium style would look amazing as well, but can't seem to find an example of that anywhere.
Have you done the front badge red as well? Be interested to see how that looks.
Cheers.

yep mk6, since it is more 3d and splits so much easier

It looks good, I definitely got to get one. Did you replace the whole mechanism or just put a MK6 badge onto a late MK5 mechanism? If so where did you buy your MK6 badge from? And what did you use to attach it? Sorry for all the questions in one go!
Cheers, Rob.

Finally got round to fitting a mk6 badge yesterday, really like the look of the bevelled edges and a big fan of the chrome on black. Didn't have to use any adhesive tape in the end. Just clipped off as many of the tags on the back as I had to and pushed it into place. Quick easy and simple little mod but one worth doing I think.
