Title: Rear VW badge
Post by: p3eps on 11 April 2010, 10:24

I'm thinking that with all the gloss black on the car, it might be nice to have the VW badge on the rear in gloss black too.
I have opted for the reverse cam - is it the same emblum on that as it is on the standard boot handle?  Does it just 'unclip' in the same way?

I'm sure I still have a MK5 boot handle in my cupboard at work from when I made my own reverse camera - so in theory I could remove the badge from it and have a shot.  If it looks poop then I can change it back.... provided the MK5 and MK6 have the same badge?!

Well I've found my boot handle in the cupboard at work - but have no idea how to get the silver VW badge off without destroying it?

Madge :grin: are you going to do the front badge too?
Might as well. :smiley:
IMO, I think it might look really good with the black wheels and against the white paint.

I'd consider buying some pre-done ones off ebay so I can see how they look.  I'd want to keep the original ones incase black ones look poop though!
