Rear badge removal
« on: 15 December 2024, 00:29 »
I'm looking at replacing the rear VW badge /logo with an aftermarket white and black version, is the badge clipped on? remove with plastic pry tool?

It’s stuck on with double sided automotive foam tape, can be removed with cotton thread or dental floss, and then clean up the remains from the paintwork with some tar and glue remover and elbow grease, check out YouTube for how to remove such badges if not sure.

DOH!! The picture hadn’t loaded for me when I first viewed your post, I wrongly thought you were talking about the GTI lettering! 🥴, sorry!
