er...Thanks!  i am guessing you didnt "modify" the badge that he sent you?  i got my front one from this place and its really good, but the back sounds like it has to be curved or domed in that case.  thanks for the warning, i shall not waste my hard earned then.  if anyone has a link for a black one that will actually fit my car, it would be much appreciated.

I got a front and back from him, and the front is perfect. :congrats:

I've never seen a back replacement for sale on ebay, but to be fair I didn't look for one as I didn't want to risk another dodgy one.
I bought a complete assembly from someone on here. He had wrapped the back plate in a cf effect and sprayed the VW part in matt black. It looks really smart. I'll try and put a pic up tomorrow.

Yours looks the same in that you can remove the lettering. The old ones like mine, that suffered white worm, are one piece plastic so you can't do much with them. I think there are instructions somewhere on here that tell you how to remove yours and wrap/spray as you like.

paint it yourself like i did?





to get it off when you push the badge up you can see a little hole at the base you just need to be really careful and prise it off! its got a few clips holding it on on the VW section

i am liking what you have done to yours...i am really neither creative or practical when it comes to stuff like that.  you dont happen to have a full back end shot of your car do you?  seeing as mine is also silver i want to make sure it "works"...as i think my look will be black and silver.  thanks guys.

Yes mate, i had to dismantle both and modify the black one. I used the backing of my original badge and just the black part of the vw badge from the one i purchased. If i ever sell the car i can just remove the black one and simlpy just clip the original back in

It must have been swapped at some point then.
