Anyone ever replaced speedo glass?

The trouble with using any sort of grinder is the anti-reflective coating.
You'd just grind it off.

I can't say I've ever notice any anti-reflective coating...or if there is, it's bloody useless.
So why fret about it?
Surely the angle has more to do with it not reflecting light, than the plastic coating?

I suppose the OP would have to decide whether reflections he might get are worse than scratches he already has...and decide from there.

If you were to remove the plastic using a sharp knife then there would be no reflections or scratches.

Nice one!!

I assume the mk6 has the purple tinted speedo glass the mkv and other VW's have?  As hairy says this is an anti reflective coating.  While it may or may not work, you will make a terrible mess if you try and polish any scratches out...

Complain at the stealers to get it sorted.
