The turn the badge to the left to remove, are we talking just the chrome front part of the badge or the whole thing (as in the backing VW bit).

Gave mine a quick look at the weekend and it didnt seem to want to budge.

The whole badge inc the plastic part.
So wedge your fingers in through the V and the W and twist the whole thing anti-clockwise. Give it a little jiggle while you're twisting as it may be stuck.
I sprayed mine last weekend with matt black and it came out lovely!

I think that looks great.   :cool: :cool: :cool:

But if you want the real effect why not just remove the whole bage completely? Aka Debadge the grill. Looks mighty fine and just get hte small indenture on the bonnet fillet.

Very common mod over here and in the USA. If you want pics I can arrange.

Aye it looks the dogs danglies  :wink:
Cant believe i didnt do this along time ago!

Car certainly gets more attention now.
And the handful of other GTI drivers i've seen look at my car in a weird way. I guess the r32 tints, colour-coded bumpers and now the black front badge makes their cars look sh!te  :laugh:
