Title: Rear black plastic badge (curved)
Post by: E30Dom on January 15, 2013, 07:46:51 pm: I need a rear black plastic(or carbon) badge for my rear mechanism, but not sure where sells them? Seen thread on ones for sale being the flat type... Ideally want a black plastic version of the original which clips in to the boot mechanism...

Any ideas guys?

Dom - they sell these on eBay - mk6 versions [ebay]261104805923[/eBay], which should clip on to the mk5 mechanism. I know some people say the clips can be on the wrong place, but pretty sure it should still fit.

I happen to have a black loss mk6 one at the moment and awaiting a mk5 3D unit to arrive so i can offer it up for you when it arrives and see if it works :happy2:

Other option is to just vinyl wrap your current silver badge - unclip, wrap the re-clip. Works a treat on mk5 badges (mk6 are beveled so a real pain I've found - better o just buy one sprayed for £15)

Wrapped looks like this :)

Let me know how it goes...

I have DIY sprayed mine today as it was starting to bubble at the bottom, so an afternoons work resulted in...

I have done the back satin black too, might might do reflex silver...
