Badge replacement

[Sug]

I know this will have been posted before but cant seem to find it, I am wanting to replace the VW badges on my car. front seems easy enough either prise off or remove grill???? As for the back????

Back depends on what year the car is but will likely involve removing the whole mechanism.

Its a 2008 fella

Might be able to prise off the metal VW bit on the rear badge.

how did you get the front one off fella is it just simply prising it away, it seems that way ?

The front VW badge can be removed by pushing it in and turning it (can't remember if clockwise/anticlockwise) but this has a good chance of breaking the clips. Better to remove the grille (two screws at top, two under where number plate plinth is) and then undo it from behind.

Yeh just push in and turn anti clockwise and it pulls out. be carefull not to break one of the three clips. I broke one but it still went back on fine. The back is a bit more tricky.
 Remove the 2 screws in internal tailgate cover and pull very firmly to remove. (use an window scraper or similar to lever it if need be) then

Remove the connector block and the 3 Torx screws securing boot handle. (you may need to loosen the wiper motor to get to the bottom screw)

may just take the gamble by twisting!

if not isnt it the torx on the top ? in the bonnet?

Think there is also 2 under number plate aswel

As I said, two at the top and two under the number plate plinth. All torx I think.
