Need a new rear VW badge, advise needed!
Matt23:
There are 2 styles of badge the early mk5's you can't remove the silver badge but later models the silver badge can be removed. I believe the earlier badge is the only one to suffer from white worm.

I know you said you didn't want to replace it but replacing or spraying it i think are your only options.

Thanks for the great info there mate! So can the later version be still be fitted to the early models?

Yes it can, but having already replaced mine I am happy that I fitted a MK6 badge :jumpmove:
The Mk6 badge is far nicer than the MK5 and fits exactly the same, simply plug and play and they dont corrode.
I would seriously recommend this over a replacement MK5 one especially if you are buying new as they are priced similiar.

How much do the MK6 ones go for?

Brace yourself about £90!! :rolleye:
