Mines dented and I could do with a new one as well, after having a bit of a look about it looks a bit more complicated than just changing the badge.

Guess I'll just have to put up with it!

ebay have some nice replacement badges, there is a GTI one with a black background, about £11 and seem very good quality.

I think were talking about different things here,I'm on about the VW badge in the centre of the wheel

Ahh I see. Sorry Al, didn't know about them :happy2:

Don't suppose you've seen a standard VW one have you?! Do they just pop out and stick the new one in?!

Cheers,
Matt

it sticks over the top of your existing badge, to replace the badge you would have replace the whole airbag unit. :happy2:
