Title: Rear boot badge
Post by: Cossie Killer on January 10, 2015, 10:06:14 pm: Evening all,

Can anyone advise firstly what badge this is (3D?), secondly, is there anyway of removing and replacing without removing the whole handle?!

Have been searching but still none the wiser...

The mk6 bevelled badges fit onto the mk5 rear mechanisms too but i think there were two clip patterns so some mk6 badges need some tabs to be broken off etc.

bit of patience and sometimes a soak in hot water helps get the badge off easier! Hope it helps!
