Anyone know where you can buy a black MkV Boot badge for a 58 plate Pirelli (curved back in the inside) I bought this from ebay but the back is flat and the edge is not the same as my boot badge :sad1:

I wonder how much a factory badge is, I could spray myself ?
-
I had the same problem.
Bought that exact badge & its not even for a mk5 :confused:
I'm simply just gonna spray the original badge myself :happy2:

It is made of strong material and comes with self adhesive foam tape pre-installed and has a flat not curved backside.
(please keep in mind the badge may require modifications to the trunk release and / or the backside of the emblem, since there are different MK5 models on the market.)

It's a fair point but the advert does say may and specs years to 2008, without seeing it and looking you don't know tbh. It could have been easy right ?
If the add had said not suitable for xxx then I would not have bought
Shame really
-
I also bought the front black grille badge from the same seller which fits perfectly but its the boot badge thats the problem,
I sent them a mail regarding the fact it don't fit mk5 golfs, early style or 3d style boot badge.
But funnily enough not had a reply & that was weeks ago & the same badges are still for sale stating they fit mk5's lol
Maybe a nice mail to E-Bay will solve that problem.

I have just spoken to VW the replacement part is noty easy and is £100......
I have heard of people wrapping them. I wonder If I might be able to do that ?
-
Well I had the early style whiteworm type badge.
Bought a new style badge off a member on here, took off the silver VW part, really easy to do,
then simply gonna spray it black myself when I get the chance.
Don't have a clue about wrapping, sorry.
-
i the 3d silver vw part of mine wrapped i wrapped it my self, somebody took a liking to it and has nicked the silver part
so not ive just got athe badge opener but with no silver badge part
i can not find the silver vw part anywhere
its starting to annoy me now as i don't want to have to spend money on a full new badge

Has anyone tried to spray an early style flat mk5 bootlid badge? If so how did it go? Any tips?
Cheers

I vinyl wrapped my flat badge and then used a sharp craft knife to cut out the middle parts..

Nicely done :happy2:

cheers :happy2:
its not perfect but it covers the whiteworm for now lol
it will get redone eventually...

I'm gonna be carbon wrapping mine next week :smiley:
-
i carbon wrapped my front one but i couldnt get it to curve like the black so iv got some creases in :sad1:
looks ok until you get up close, might be because i bought it from motorsave, so it wasnt the 3m stuff
should look good :happy2:
-
Ive painted my rear badge 4 times and cant get the correct black I want. Next step is to try Plasti-Kote gloss black or Hammerite to try and get it right. Ive even tried Vauxhall metallic but no good.

Yeah I have the 3M Di-Noc stuff, so should be ok :happy2:

I've been looking at these badges and questioning the whole flat or curved badges, is it to do with the badge or the boot?
