Matt Black front VW badge...

[Saint Steve]

Thanks for the post's...

I have managed to source one from Fleabay of all places,solid black and from an VW online shop in Germany....

Having looked at the standard badge on my car is it a case of taking off the grill to remove the badge or can just the chrome part of the badge be removed ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes

Rotate the vw badge in the grill anti-clockwise.

Then with a small screwdriver, prize off the chrome face off the Black housings. Peice of p!ss

What he said, are you ever going to have the badge out ever again?

[stealthwolf]

The proper way is to remove the front grille ans then extract the badge.

And i am pleased with the result's.

Mmmm, I just tried this. I felt a nasty click and now the badge is loose but not out. It feels like I may have broken one of the brackets.

Is it easier to take the grille out? I can see two torx screws and a couple of tabs on the top so I'm hoping its quite accessible once these are out?
