Rather than create a new thread i'll bring this one back.
Im also looking to sort out the white worm on my rear badge, it's an 05 GTI so the old style.
I just want the standard look, no painting it different colours etc, so figure the best option is just a replacement badge? (Even if it is the new one that sticks out a bit?).
That said, i'll probably wait and replace the rear wiper motor at the same time, as mine has the ghost wiper affect! (Every so often the rear wiper starts going off when I star the car!)
