OMG why is it so hard to purchase a new outer boot badge handle cover for my Golf?
It's the 110mm badge which is curved on the back and not flat. Every time you find one it has a flat back which seams to be the norm on Ebay. I don't want to change the whole unit as it work, I don't have the skill to change the whole unit and it's just the front plate I want to fit. So you would think you could get a new replacement badge?
I can't find any suitable replacement covers or original ones's without the horrible corrosion. The front badge on mine mk5 is matt black so I was going to get a new chrome back and replace the front in chrome but have decided to change the back badge to a matt black to match.
But I can't find any thing to match. I have tried eBay, amazon and google with out any luck. Does anybody know of any retailers that sell them?
I could buy a similar chrome one in better condition and sand it down and paint it matt black but will it look nice as I think I will loose the logo as the badge doesn't have that 3d look, will it just look like a black circle on the back by the time the work is done?
What about other vw vehicles do there badges fit?
I would prefer a 3d one any links to anything?
