Somebody seems to have borrowed my Edition 30 Badge!!
« on: October 28, 2012, 01:42:49 am »
I usually put my car in the garage every night. Its typical that the one night that I cant be bothered and I wake up in the morning to find out that somebody has nicked my bootlid Edition 30 badge! Absolute scumbags. I am just thankful that the paintwork isnt damaged. I am shocked that somebody would steal something that probally isnt that expensive to buy.

I have missed the VW parts departments opening hours, so wont be able to phone them untill monday. Does anybody know roughly how much these are to buy??

Cheers.

It's probably kids, I remember when I was at school people used to nick them off cars and swap them with each other or sell them to other kids.

Keep an eye out incase you see any corsa or Saxo edition 30s floating about  :signLOL:

At least there isn't any marks or scratches from them taking the badge off so it will just be a cheap fix

 :surprised:  I think I'd resort to some decals from VC if the badges were £60, and there was a chance of it being nicked again.  :wink:

Don't forget to ask VW for the badge location measurements, get some masking tape too  :happy2:

I didnt think about looking on ebay. As long as they are genuine I will order one. The car looks crap at the moment as I havent had time to remove the sticky foam.

Can VW supply these dimensions?? Do they just print them off for you??

Cheers.

^^^^ if your boot still has the sticky bit from the badge, just measure up and then across and you'll be fine for putting the other one on. Sounds a bit anal but when I replaced my GTI lettering on the boot I used a spirit level and masking tape to get it level, using the top of the masking tape as the bottom line on which to place the lettering.

EDIT: if that doesn't help use this "how to" on badge placement, use the measurements for the lettering "FSI" as to where to place the EDITION30 badge.

They aren't that expensive as I have one on order too at my local dealers. From memory I think they quoted me £38, mines been on order for at least 6 months now! :mad:
