Rich, between steps 10-11, did you trim the edges further or just fold the rest of the wrap around?

Yes luke... you trim just enough off so that it can be folded back, but not so much so that it won't stick. Thats the hardest part.  :happy2:

Is it possible to do this without breaking every single silver plastic clip holding the 2 badges together, and also not have at least some of the silver of the badge showing once you have wrapped in between the letters?

If so, I guess I'll be sending a new badge to someone that can do it for me lol. As I just wrote off two attempts.

Edit: Just looked at the guide again and i can see that the Mk5 front badge is only a few mm thick. The Polo 6R badge is very thick and very 3d. It makes it so difficult to do. Just wasted an hour earlier doing this with 2 attempts. Grrrrr!!!
