Change VW badges.

Post by gary390 »

Looking to change my front and rear VW badges to gloss black.
What's the best way to remove the badges? Are they just clipped on?
Do I need to remove the grill on the front? Any tips would be great!

"Front VW Emblem:
Method 1: Removal of the whole front/honeycomb grill and then taking out the emblem by turning either clockwise or counter clockwise

Method 2: Without removing the front/honeycomb grill, turn the emblem counter clockwise or clockwise.

Rear VW Emblem:
Flip up the badge, there is a small space/gap, use a fine flat head screw driver and then carefully pry it off, be weary of the tabs/clips that hold the badge in place, you'll have to bed those tabs to get the badge off."

Twisting the front badge wont work on the 6r, u have to take the grill off and undo tabs from the back of the grill
That method will remove the badge and the badge holder off the front grill.
The same method used to remove the rear badge can be used to remove the front badge on its own without the holder
