Mk5 boot badge/handle
« on: January 17, 2014, 10:20:22 am »
Hi, Im wanting to replace my boot badge due to unsightly white worm. I was going to buy a complete new one from VW however they want £123!! Does anyone know if i can just prise of the actual vw badge without taking the whole handle assembly off the boot and then just replace the actual badge please.

If you buy a newer shape one, you will lose the slow close (the new ones snap shut)... I bought a slow close with 3d badge from Brookes, it's been great:

They just un clip using a credit or small screw driver just go carefull. If not removing the whole badge is not a big job mate.

I did mine myself. Removed the old one.

Then removed the badge, cleaned it up and shaved a little off the edge to make it a tad smaller. Then I ordered some fake carbon film for a few quid of eBay and stuck it on. Ordered a mk6 badge for around £30 and Roberts your dad's brother.

As the peeps above say, either mod yours with a Mk5 3D VW Emblem or a Mk6 beveled 3D emblem or buy a newer Mk5 mech or a Mk6 mech. Found a cheap Mk6 one on eBay for you :wink:.....

My old Mk5 3D version, painted rear and vinyl wrapped VW Emblem.....



My current  Mk6 one (with colour coded backing) on my Eddy....
