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 £20 as I have everything I need, but any other colour would be £25 because I'd have to buy it.
The badge alone from VW is either £11.94 or £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.

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...............
