Hey

Any1 know where on the net i can get hold of rear and front badges in black ? ?

[dsw88]

no mate you have to spray them or vinyl wrap them yourself

[Scotty9n]

Really ? ive seen them for the 6n's just not 9's
have you done yours ? ?

[dsw88]

some companys made them for the early vw range then just stopped making them, yeah i've got a black vinyl wrapped front badge, a carbon wrapped rear badge and also a sprayed black rear badge

[Scotty9n]

oh rite kk
did you wrap that yourself ? any pics ??

[dsw88]

i sprayed the rear one and my friend did the wrapped one's

our lasses and dsw88's rear badges notice on both of those i cant get the vinyl to go riight into the little corners, somebody better at wrapping probably could, on the fronts you dont have this problem as when you split the badge its very thin so goes around the edges nicely,

Does the rear badge of a 9N come off quite easily? I bit of heat maybe?

Im not 100% sure if its held on with adhesive??

[dsw88]

all i used was a hair dryer and some fishing line behind the badge to help it off, its just stuck on with like double sided tape

Are you talking about a 9N pal? I went out with a hair-dryer and tried to get mine off... No joy! Im 100% sure its not held on with adhesive. If I forcefully was to pry it off Im sure I would bust the badge itself

What dsw88 says is correct, its just held on with some pretty strong adhesive. Its also located in an indentation in the tailgate, so it can be a bit tricky.

Get it really warm and try using some dental floss/fishing line in a sawing motion behind the badge, it should come off with a bit of patience.
