was thinking of buying a rabbit stearing wheel badge i seen on e-bay, was wonderring if anyone else has one or knows if the vw badge is easy to come off as mine is pretty scratched
i see the rabbit one is self adhesive but it looks a bit flimsy as it is aluminium and was thinking there may be better quality ones out there
i heard someone say they had to take their stearing off to replace theirs,,, surely it just pries off ?
-
Dont try and take the existing badge off!! It is connected to the airbag somehow. Different badges just have to stick on top of the existing one.
-
What the man says, just stick it on top. Looks ok. Have a Red Wolfsburg one on mine. :happy2:
-
ahh ok, glad i asked lol that could have turned bad there if i took it of, with sticking on top can you tell something has just been stuck on as i guess it wont be flush
thanks
-
No, not flush but as I say it's ok.
Mine (sorry for the iPhone pic).......

looks ok, hard to see in the pic how far it sticks out i guess,,, was just thinking something - if you needed to allign a steering wheel you would pressume the original cap would pop off to give you access to the inner stearing wheel bolt would you not,,,, just trying to think logically here

^^^^ no. Whole front section ( the air bag unit) comes off and under that is the nut. Looks like this...

ah i see, many thanks for that,,, whole new air bag unit - f**k that lol,,,, in your opinion sticking the badge on top,,, does it actually look like you have stuck a badge on there or not,,,, i know the rabbit one i am looking at is self adhesive but bit worried it is only £4 or so as the quality may be bad,,, says it is aluminium,,, thats the same as a coke can isnt it,,, what do you think dude
-
If its only £4 and it looks sh*te, chuck it in the bin! At that price it's disposable Buy it and Have a look. No idea what mine is made off, a resin of some sort I imagine. It is raised, and if you look at it, it is stuck onto the VW emblem.
