Rear badge removal
« on: July 20, 2009, 07:41:14 pm »
I've got an early gti. The rear badge has wankworm :booty: so would like to paint it, thought I heard somewhere  that the earlier ones where differant to the new ones, mines quite flat with only a small recess to the 'behind' of the VW symbol.

Do I have to remove the whole boot handle mechanism or can the badge be prized off leaving the handle where it is!?

Cheers, Sam  :jumpmove:

Twist anti-clockwise and give it a wiggle to get it out just be cautious ot the 3 tabs getting caught on the grill.

the later badges are different when you fit them to a 54 or 55 plate golf the badge sticks out  2mm...best removing it to get it painted
