Which badges do you mean? the polo + GTi ones or the VW one???
The POLO + GTi ones both come off if you heat them with a hair dryer and the VW one has a hole behind it!
Hope this helps?

yeah the polo and gti badges will be stuck on! best thing to do i found when i did my rear badges was to heat the area first (as polosilver said
) and this makes the glue that holds them on looser!
then get a bit of dental floss and put it behind the badge and move it side to side in a sawing action and this should cut thru the glue.
any glue that is left u shud be able to rub off and then u can clean up the area with polish, t-cut, and even bug and tar remover!
hope this helps

The big VW badge doesn't have a hole behind it, it's stuck on the same as the other ones.
It does however have a round indentation behind the badge.

Yep no hole on the main VW badge
As others have said, the 'words' are just stuck on, I got mine off with a credit card, slicing through it and cleaned off any excess glue afterwards
If you do heat, don't keep on paintwork for a long time!
