Awsome,

So if I buy the rear boot emblem above from ebay ^^ is it as easy as popping off the one on my 3D version (stock silver one) and popping this new one back in without removing/unscrewing etc the boot mechanism itself? Sorry, an a noob to this! Thanks guys you're really helpful.

Not trying to piss you off MC71, but what does the old badge look like with the badge taken off?  :confused:

 :signLOL: the only silly question, is the one not asked!! (what my mum always said)

Pretty sure it's an "all in one" piece so can't be seperated, could be wrong as mine is the 3D type so no experience with the older one. Hopefully someone will answer that one for you bud!

Yes (ish).  As mentioned the rear tabs are different so will need to remove a couple of them from the Black one and bond (glue or very strong double sided tape) it into place. No need to remove the whole unit if your only removing the silver VW emblem. Follow my previous post re removing emblem.

If you are refering to the 'older version', it is one piece, you cannot remove the silver bit.

Gazon,

Do you have the ebay link? I have read lots of threads that said the shop 'goingfast' sell ones that aren't compatible with the boot? Is this the one you bought?

Mine is an 06, so I am hoping its the two part badge, will save me a lot of time and effort...

Cheers
hi mate, yes i thing thats the one, it deffo isn't a direct fit but with a bit of playing around you can get it to fit, i wasn't really bothered if it didn't fit at a tenner but like i said i just removed the clips on the black one and bonded it on. You cant tell mate. Oh the clips are really brittle so come off real easy. This will deffo not fit the older style badge what ever way you do it though. You will have to upgrade to the newer style badge.  :happy2:
