What did you do in then? Adhesive pads on the back and snapped all the clips off?

Snapped all but the largest, it's the only one that fits anyway, haven't used any adhesive but you may want to consider it, mine hasn't moved a mm since fitting though

Hm 30 quid lips postage seems a lot for an emblem. The matte black ones go for 10£!! I don't know about matte black on steel grey however... Do you think I could get a black one and just spray it chrome?

Best results for spraying are using rustoleum aluminium silver or plastikote  Make sure the badges you order are bevelled

They seemed to have bumped up in price, I recall paying £15 max for mine last year

Wonder if anyone could help me please? I've been trying to fit a new MK6 badge (5K0853630B) but it doesnt seem to be even close to fitting, it's a good bit too small. The rim of the badge wont even get close to 'wrapping' round the edge of the boot handle. Was there a few different revisions of handle? I only ask as I read above that those that have successfully fitted them said to remove all the tabs except the largest one, but my handle doesnt even have a slot for the one large tab, just what looks like 3 small holes positioned at about 12,5 and 7 oclock.

Any help or pointers as to where I've gone wrong would really be apreciated.

Thanks,

Scott.
