What badges? The 'GOLF' & 'GTI' ones are glued on. Remove with a little bit of heat then some polish.

The big VW ones leaves an indent.

Just use a hair dryer to get some heat into the clue and pull them off. Then as TJG said, wash and polish over it and hey presto.

Nope :s   I was doing the work on my air box when i opened the windows and my passenger window dropped to the bottom of the door thanks VW! So i was fixing that and the garrage ordered the wrong part so i had to wait another day and the week before my badge was stolen is after i fixed the window i just slapped the badge on in a hurry cause it left like my car was falling apart   :tongue:   Will look into later once im happy with the performance. As i just posted in another thread i dont have the money for a nice set of deep dish rims or a paint job so im going to make it a sleeper for the next couple of months and just improve its performance. Want to get it on par with A WRX at least.
