what by just masking the silver off?

Nah you remove the badge, then cut off the melted points that hold the silver bit to the back, they then seperate.
Spray the back, then glue them back together with a heated glue gun or something

What I'd do if I was you Tom, is I'd get another badge from VW and then take it to a bodyshop and ask them to do a complete colour code, VW and the background. My mate done it on his Black Loop and it looks awesome.
Get more photos of the whole car!
