Title: replacement rear hatch VW badge, how to?
Post by: celica on July 01, 2009, 09:14:32 pm
mine is showing some white worm, just wondered if it's an easy swap over and cost of part?

mines the early flat smooth version, it's just showing when opening the boot. can live with it for now, but something to think about

cheers

Unfortunately VW doesn't sell the emblem seperately!
You have to buy the whole latch mechanism that includes the emblem.

I dont think you are able to get the flat ones anymore, you may have to upgrade to the newer type.  :happy2:

Where are you based Celica?

I have a full badge and latch mechanism if you want it. It came off mine when I moved over to the carbon fibre one. I don't know how much they are worth though, but it is in good condition and I know how to fit one if you want some help and are near :happy2:

Here is a pic of the rear CF badge. I bought it in a group buy through the TT shop, so you'd have to agree a price with them. They will supply a new latch mechanism with the badge too :happy2:
As you can see I also colour coded the inner part of the badge to match the car, to help it stand out a bit more 8)

If your emblem is flat i.e the VW emblem is not raised then Charles@Carbon Dynamics will not be able to apply CF to it.

hurdy, did yours come off the edition 30? i would imagine it's the newer type with the 3d emobossed VW type style.

i'm not too bothered which one it is, but have said to the other member he can have first dibs over me

the new the vw badge is raised a lot more--can't understand why the new badges stick out about 2mm more

Hi Andy,

The chrome badge is part number..

1K0 853 630

The latch mechanism has two numbers, the first one is most likely the backing plate for the chrome badge..

1K0 827 469 G
3C5 827 469 C

 :happy2:

Here's a pic of the latch and badge. The badge isn't clipped into place, but is sitting on top of the latch if you see what I mean. :smiley:

Any idea how much for a standard one from a stealer or TPS?
Or if Hurdy's hasn't been snapped up - how much dude?  :smiley:
