Can I get in on this still, both front and rear?

I'd like to get the CF badges and keep my old ones also, paying for two new badges.

....No problem, Ady - I'll add your name to the list in the first post just after posting this. Phew! Why use 2 words when 25 will do!?

You can't buy just the rear emblem badge as VW doesn't sell it without the latch mechanism. You will have to use your own badge or one from scrap.

....Wherever the whole latch comes from, you will need to carefully remove the VW silver badge part.

And also it needs to be the higher relief version - I'll post a pic later but am under orders from my 17yo SWMBO daughter to cook dinner now!

Ok, no worries.

I know it's a raised version rear badge, late 06 car, so that's not a problem. I'll take a look tomorrow as to how to remove it, how do they come off by the way?

I might change to the front badge only - I'm not mechanically minded and am rather heavy handed and the last thing I want to do is break it..

I was wondering how to remove the rear badge so I asked my friend Google:
