Nice  :congrats:

Never heard of anyone going back to the 'older style' badge but I agree it looks spot on!  :happy2:

Watch out for the dreaded white worm!

I had mine changed to the older one to. I never painted it though. I think it looks better without the chrome and smoother!  :signLOL:
Looks good! :happy2:

Joe, when you sprayed the rear badge did you mask out the non VW bit or just spray the whole lot? I wanted to spray mine which is a flat style older badge like yours but wasn't sure if I'd end up losing the definition of the VW part once it was sprayed. I'd be interested in reading how you went about it mate.

Just masked of the whole rear of my car, masked of the inner-VW bit of the badge, then a quick layer of primer and 2 layers of matt black paint, no over-spray and even managed to do the inside rim.  :happy2:
