Hey Rich, thanks for totally ignoring my post twice now.  I will look elsewhere.  I honestly thought that this forum was to help other GTI owners.  I must be wrong.

Thats how i found it when i did mine.  It was really awkward in the corners of the badge.

That one you've done looks decent to me.  What do you use as a heat source?

If you thought that was difficult Rich, try doing a Polo VW badge.  :sad1:

Not happy with it so wrapping wing mirrors is currently off the list.

Rich,

Have you done the rear badge? I have a 3d badge so should just come apart. though can't find any guides etc. Have the vinyl to do it, just not the know how from get the badge separated.

Cheers
