Cheers dude, very helpful that will be. The Mk6 boot badge is a lot nicer :evilgrin:

hi all... just a little update on my rear badge...I brought a new Mk6 boot release a couple of weeks ago..got that fitted but did not like the snap shut close...So decided to go hybrid like a lot of people have done already Mk6 golf badge on a mk5 boot handle also decided to colour-code it.. Slow close is so much better..And the new 3D design badge looks fresh..Also the Mk5 boot handle feels so much more quality over the mk6.

Was this difficult to do? I picked up a new boot handle, without soft close, whilst it looks good it does feel as quality as the soft close

Hi... As for your question...depends on what you want to do..
If you want to replace the mk5 boot release then you would need to remove the inner tailgate plastic ..loosen the rear wiper motor to gain access ....The boot handle is held in position with x3 bolts and a power connector simply unplug that's it
On the other hand like I did was just replace the badge. On the mk6 badge to need to remove all the small plastic tabs on the back ...and leave the x1 large tab so it's a mirror image of the mk5 badge ...that it fits perfect job done....

Handle looks smart Deano! I thought removing the MK5 badge left holes in the plastic which are not covered by the MK6 badge?
