Black VW badges - Front Now Fitted
« on: 06 June 2021, 00:17 »
Hi all, first post (except in the newbie intro section)

Just wondering if anyone has found any black VW bonnet/boot badges to replace the chrome ones.

When I get my car I will be wanting to fit black badges but if non are available I would consider wrapping the original badges.

Any thoughts anyone?

TIA

Your front badge has the radar behind it... Be careful what you do....

Ah right, so it's it not a replacement plastic clip on badge like the older cars? I've not seen one so thought the ACC thing was in front grill as on the mk 7.

From the mk7.5 onwards its behind the badge. That's not to say that you couldn't do something different with it but...

Also on the mk8 it's totally flat. It's not a raised badge any more....its a vw logo on a curved surface, as is the one on the steering wheel.

You can buy vinyl skins for to black the badge out here.
Doesn’t affect the ACC radar.

Black on a black background? Hmmm

That shouldn't mess with the radar though.

My badge has a few stone chips already so a sticker might be quite nice to cover it.
I quite like the look of the sill covers and sun visor sticker via that link to mk8crew.

Yeah, there’s a couple of nice little bits on there.
I liked the rear reflector hexagonal stickers

Thanks for the heads up, ordered the front and rear badges, didn't see a steering wheel one, but will take another look and order when I go for the reflector cover. I also went for the black GTi front grill and boot lid badges too, not sure if they are full badges or just vinyl for the text, I think I must be going for the stealth look with it being a black car too 😉.
Anyone know where to get a tint for the mirror indicators also?
