You have to get it welded up... PITA if you ask me, and the front looks better with the VW badge i think

My mate had it done, his badgeless grill came with a "notch" to fill in the cut out in the bonnet which I assume you then get smoothed and painted however in the end he got a custom bit welded in and painted because he was worried about something that was just stuck in there cracking out over time.

Any idea on how much it all cost him?
