I was told by a VW mechanic that the sensor behind the badge was moved down to accommodate the new illuminated badge , not sure i would want to endure the wrath of Bongs on my clubby if i messed about with it...

I'm with you @Aidey, no way I'd want to risk upsetting the very moody and temperamental nature of the MK8.

Personally I always thought it looked tacky too a bit like Halfords had had a play with it and I wouldn't want it anyway.

Having said that I applaud the OP for braving the mod and think it looks good on the white car.

Tbh I didn’t even think of the bongs before I decided to fit the badge. Think that shows how few problems I’ve had.
The sensor has been absolutely fine since doing the badge, no issues at all (famous last words eh). You really don’t have to touch the sensor at all. I certainly wouldn’t have unplugged it as some of the videos show. There’s plenty of room to do the work without unplugging everything.
The worst bit was taking the front section of trim off but once you work out where the clips are, it’s pretty painless.
