My rear badge had bad white worm appearing so sorted myself a MK4 Golf badge from my brothers 2.8 V6 after him changing his for a smaller sharan one.
Managed to spray paint the mechanism the same colour as the car and fit the MK4 emblem. It's not a bad fitting either to be honest

This is what I have got to do, got the badge ready to go! - Were there any holes you had to fill in before putting the badge over the top of it? - I didn't think about spraying it tbh as thought it may be ok in the black plastic (my car is black too), but think I might spray it now after seeing this :happy2:

I have to do it as well, but have heard different cars have different mechanisms.
Mine’s an 05. If yours is the same do you mind running through the process with me/us?
MarkyN:
@Peskyjones I took the old badge off, mines an 05, just pull slowly all around and the whole badge will come off. Leaving you with the black plastic base. Clean that up, get all the stickyness off it, fill in the small hole at the top of the mechanism then I put a MK5 boot badge on mine but I am lead to believe that the MK6 one fits a lot better.
I done all this while on the car, I just made sure the complete rear end was masked up and I done all the spraying and filling in my garage, so out of the wind
MarkyN:
Bought some roof bar today. Genuine VW ones. Fitted nicely, came to fit my Thule bike carrier and can't get the brackets to go anywhere near the bars. Looks like I will have to get the brackets fabricated to fit :surprised:

Welcome to the club!! The OEM bars are chunky, you can use the T track system is a bit frustrating :fighting:
MarkyN:
@v4rley what that mate? The T Track system
