Mines dented and I could do with a new one as well, after having a bit of a look about it looks a bit more complicated than just changing the badge.

Guess I'll just have to put up with it!

Ahh I see. Sorry Al, didn't know about them :happy2:

Don't suppose you've seen a standard VW one have you?! Do they just pop out and stick the new one in?!

Cheers,
Matt

it sticks over the top of your existing badge, to replace the badge you would have replace the whole airbag unit. :happy2:
