Well Simon it arrived and i wasted no time going out and fitting it, was a lot trickier to get the trim off than that guide said!! After about 30 mins of pulling and tugging it finally came off, then I had the joy of trying to get the wiper lose to get to that 3rd bolt. But im super happy with how the back looks now. So good to have matching badges.
And then this is the old one, tore the metal badge off straight away, needs a good sanding down now like, but im thinking about maybe painting it up as a spare or something.

You have been busy! And yep that trim can be a right beehatch to remove, those clips are super strong.
Looks great though :driver:
A bit of filler and you could spray straight over the base, or you could sand down the badge and spray/wrap that to have a nice spare
Top job John

so how do you get the 3d badges to stay on them then? or can you not on this style of handle?

The old handle has a different base, as you notice the badge is stuck to it rather than clipped to it. You could wrap or spray the badge and re-stick like this,
or stick a 3D generic 110mm VW badge on top
This one i happened to wrap first - stuck directly the base
Or with lots of effort get the dremel out and trim the edge of the base and the inside of a genuine mk5 3D badge and wedge that on
