Title: Front & Rear Badges
Post by: Johnny_tro on April 29, 2011, 12:25:30 am
Question - if I want a black or colour look on my VW badges, do I have to buy these EBAY stickers? or are there some quality replacement badges?

The rear badge is the tricky one. I'm interested in ebay stickers for the back badge, this might be a simple solution.

You can just buy the badges already in black, or do it yourself, or buy stickers.
Plenty of options.

VW do do a black one? OEM but in black?

don't really wish to do stickers......would like a solid/good black one.

i was in the process of doing the rear one but beware, the badges on ebay don't fit the mk5 even when the auction says it does.
the black front one on ebay is fine though as I have that one.

just gonna do it myself now, simply spray it black  :happy2:

nice! I just don't trust Ebay.....some look good but when you read the small print you realise they are stickers

Eurowagens don't do a rear badge < guessing I'll just have to paint it?

Here ya go:

Carbon Effect rear badge sticker but very pricey:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK5-GT-GTI-GRILL-REAR-BADGE-EMBLEM-LOGO-DECAL-/220763348645?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3366855ea5 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK5-GT-GTI-GRILL-REAR-BADGE-EMBLEM-LOGO-DECAL-/220763348645?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3366855ea5)

Carbon effect inserts for badge:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-POLO-Badge-Carbon-Fibre-Style-Inserts-UK-/160579151464?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2563436668 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-POLO-Badge-Carbon-Fibre-Style-Inserts-UK-/160579151464?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2563436668)

Front Black Badge that fits fine, I have it on my car:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-MK5-5-V-GT-GTI-Black-Grill-Badge-Emblem-Logo-/220693278131?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3362582db3 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-MK5-5-V-GT-GTI-Black-Grill-Badge-Emblem-Logo-/220693278131?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3362582db3)

Rear black badge that doesnt fit mk5 golfs at all, I complained to ebay regarding this item:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Golf-MK5-5-V-Black-VW-Boot-Rear-Badge-Decal-Emblem-GTI-/220693278308?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3362582e64 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Golf-MK5-5-V-Black-VW-Boot-Rear-Badge-Decal-Emblem-GTI-/220693278308?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3362582e64)

So thats pretty much your options or simply paint it black yourself.

Hope I've helped.

Oh *EDIT* Just found this too:

Oh holy crap I've just bought the black back badge of eBay and paid just waiting on it being delivered ? :(

I put an offer in for the rear sticker but was automatically declined. I'll keep looking !

I might try a little matt/Carbon vinyl wrap ?  anyone know where you might buy a small amount of matt wrap ?
