Kenny did you have to take off the whole grille to remove the VW badge?
In another forum a guy there says he removed his by twisting it to the left but mine doesn't budge!!

It twists out mate, anti clockwise and about 45 degrees then carefully pull it out. It has 3 wee lugs that twists into slots on the grill but they can be easy to break so take your time. It will budge, just have some porridge before doing it  :grin:

They are the same springs as mine and the dropped slightly more than the manufacturers claimed but it sits perfectly.

I was thinking of getting my badge sprayed too but I'm not sure about the white, sorry!

Thanks guys  :cool:

You can make the badge any colour you like, i just wanted it the same as the car.

countrytrucker - did you have any problems with the traction control flashing up and brakes jagging on and off?

I haven't noticed any problems with the traction but there is 1 corner I go round where the brakes seem to lock for a split second. I thought I was imagining it at first! It's an off-camber left hander and I dab the brakes before it goes into a left-right chicane. Just as I dab the brakes, it seems to lock for an instant and it upsets the car. It caught me by surprise a bit the first time it happened and I thought it could have been leaves or something that I had driven over but it was completely dry last night and it happened again.
