Black badges
« on: March 09, 2015, 08:28:25 pm »
Noticed a few posts recently with people saying they are going to do or are doing there badges black. Mine are black and have been sanded down in order to paint them but I want OE spec silver badges! I've got a front VW badge, grill GTI (no clips though), rear boot badge (black with carbon wrapped back) and a black edition 30 badge. I live in Doncaster and happy to drive a reasonable distance (i.e 1 hour) in order to swap with someone?

You have to paint them mate...mine have been sanded prior to painting so I cant just wipe the black paint off with thinners!

They look good in black, check ebay or do as I did and wrap it. You never used to be able to buy the rear one in black but that may have changed now, front black one is only a tenner from ebay I think.

My old rear wrapped Mk5 3D black VW emblem with colour coded rear.....
