Title: MK3 rear VW emblem on a MK2???
Post by: HuwMk2 on 05 August 2009, 13:27: Hi all. Does anybody know if a mk3 rear VW emblem fits a mk2 perfectly. I believe they are both 76mm in diameter. I would like to fit a black mk3 badge on the back of my mk2! Cheers.

Post by: jezza16v on 05 August 2009, 18:34: The round badge is fixed with two pins into plastic grommets, I guess you could use a sticky one if you take the grommets out so long as the black rubbery backing is the right shape. Mine was stuck on with evo-stick...... :rolleyes:

Please donâ€™t distain the MK2 look with Mk3 tat......... :lipsrsealed:

Anyway get some sand paper very light stuff to get rid of any old paint then use small filler to smooth off any holes. Clean with thinners when finishing, then after mask up the different areas of colours and start using some paint that works well on plastics. Job done!

Post by: dan7 on 01 October 2010, 21:36: The rear roundels fit. The front ones, on the later grill are just mk3 badges. On the mk3, they use a trim ring to accomodate it into the mk3 grill.
