Title: Replacing the rear VW badge for a black one?
Post by: jimmy-s3 on December 17, 2013, 05:43:59 pm
Im trying to replace the rear VW badge for a black version so i need to remove the original chrome one. The replacement one i have has as double sided sticky pad on the back of it. Will the original badge just prise off or do i need the remove the complete badge and mechanism??

I done mine a while ago...
Not sure you have the right badge if it has a sticky adhesive on the back.it should just clip on!!!

Yeah, to be honest it came with the car, I think it's just a cheap version.?

Post up a photo, I'll be able to tell if someone has stuck a 3D badge on an original flat handle (pre 06 cars) or someone has been messing with the handle - as all 3D handles 06 onwards clipped on as someone above mentioned

Edit: may have miss read the thread - you can't buy silver or black mk5 badge son their own only mk6(which fit with a bit of fettling)
