eBay. Front ones are everywhere, rear ones are harder to find so consider a Mk6 beveled edge one (fits with a bit of fettling).

Is the front badge easy to remove for a numpty like me?

Is it just a case of popping it off and glueing it back on?

The front badge is a twist lock. Turn anti-clockwise to remove, clockwise to lock back into place  :happy2:

As above, easy to do, in fact in you'd like a closer look at it, just whip out the grill, its only two torx and clips.  :happy2:

This.  The 3 tabs on the back of the badge are very easy to snap, grill off is the best option

or...I have a mk5 slow release boot mech with white wormed badge for sale. With a little work I’m sure you could get it to how you want – its plasti dipped black atm.
