Colour coded rear badge

Also posted in the MK5 section.

I have a spare rear badge so am wondering if there's anyone that would like one with a colour coded centre.

Reflex Silver I'd do for Â£20 as I have everything I need, but any other colour would be Â£25 because I'd have to buy it.

The badge alone from VW is either Â£11.94 or Â£12.94 with VAT.

Slightly o/t but hopefully you can advise:

How do you remove the existing rear badge on the tailgate? How is it secured to the bodywork, I assume there is a recess where the badge fits? I don't like the size of the existing one and i'm looking for a suitable replacement, once I found out the recess size.

I just pulled mine off, then cleaned off the sticky pad.

Not too sure of the recess size, but the 9N badge is a good replacement.

Have you fitted the 9n Badge Tom? I think its abit flatter is'nt it?

Also has anybody tryied the vw people carrier (cant remember the name) bagde. Its alot smaller, Just not sure it would match the recess.

Yes the sharan badge is a popular mod for the MKIV golf boys. I think it will be too small for the recess on the gti, but I don't know the recess size until I take the badge off. I just think the current badge is too big, even c/coded it looks out of place.

Yep the Ford Galaxy, VW Sharan & Seat Alhambra are all the same vehicle just badged up differently....... Bit like when ford badged up the Fiesta as a Mazda 121.

Seem to remember the VW being the most expensive then the Ford then the Seat..... But might be wrong.

Cheers

For reference, I have found out the Sharan badge is 90mm diameter, so now I just need to find out the diameter of the recess...............
