I then set about sorting out the rear badge by removing the corroded part:
sanding down the handle and filling the small hole:
I then bought a mk4 rear badge (as you can't buy one to fit the original mk5 handle
). I split this down to it's parts:
I removed the complete handle assembly and sprayed it steel grey to match the car
and then fixed the chrome part of the mk4 badge to it
which then left me with this (this was before the dent was removed!):

hey garth, not sure if you'll remember or if you're even on here anymore as this thread was from ages ago but can you (or anyone else) remember how you attached the mk4 badge to the boot catch mechanism. i'm doing exactly the same as you did, bought myself a mk4 badge and stripped it down to the 3 parts. just wondered what you used to stick it on? glue, fixing pads, silicon?
