Oh and as an upshot of this I found a car wrapping company 5 minutes from my house who supplied the silver backing for the badge. It really does finish the CF off nicely. Plenty left over too :happy2:

The badge comes off quite easily. I found that a piece of stiff plastic egded under the lip of the badge and worked around the circumference, levering slightly as you go around, did the trick.  Once the badge is off you can read the VW part number on the back as all badges aren't the same :happy2:

If it's the rear  VW emblem you are on about then VW will not sell it seperately, you have to buy the complete opening handle that includes it...

Or blag one off one of the guys on here who are willing to part with it, who have a CF badge and the right badge fixings :happy2:
