Do you need to remove the badges to fit the vinyls? Does come with instructions?

No instructions ,which is a bugger... I need to find someone who has done the mod..
For the front at least it looks like I would need to remove the badge to stick on the vinyl and trim it ....

Already recieved the stickers from Mk8Crew: Front , Rear and steering wheel.
Waiting for my car which is still at the workshop :whistle:



Have you fitted any of yours yet?

I've fitted the rear and it doesn't fit very well at all and the circle doesn't cover anywhere near even half the badge Chrome section.

As for the front, not too keen on having to remove the badge too then for it so it wraps around, hence asking if you're done yours, see if that's house you did it and if it went ok?

So after a bit of deliberation, and watching the video on how to remove the badge a few times I took the plunge and fitted the front dechrome decal.

I didn't do a perfect job, the base decal had a few lumps and I put a small crease in the top decal but only really visible if you look closely.

I have done the back too but messed it up and do am getting a second decal, the guy is going to slightly rework it for a better fit, hopefully it will be, I'll let you know.

Thoughts anyone?

I asked for that I guess, lol. My psycho bunny PJ's cut down to shorts, some people don't know a thing about fashion, me I guess 🤣🤣🤣

I like them though

Need a shot from distance! Wouldn’t want it to just look like someone’s knocked the badge.
