Title: Mk5 gti & mk6 gti size of rear VW badge help???
Post by: Kam88 on March 10, 2015, 01:44:06 pm

Hello got mk5 ed30 and want a rear black badge seen lots on eBay for mk6 but not mk5 they are a sticker to go over the original I know it's not ideal but I really want one to finish the last touch.

My mk5 is 110mm could anyone measure the mk6 rear badge diameter ??? PLEASE

MK6 3d badges fit the mk5 rear boot mate. Some (depending what year mk5 you have) might need some of the mk6 badge tabs snapping off but clips on fine mate.

I had problems getting the mk6 badge to clip on properly. 08 plate edition 30. I ended up spraying my original badge. Easy job.

Best thing is to get a mk6 badge and get yours off. It'll be clear if the tabs on the middle line up. I needed to slightly dremel the inside of the mk6 badge to get it to pop over the mk5 handle but it fits fine and isn't going anywhere now.  :happy2:

if a mark 6 3D badge was painted black on black background, would the difference be notable compared to standard black mark 5 badge??

Minimal difference Id say. I colour coded the bit behind the badge to match the car looks a lot better like the new golfs

Ended up buying a badge that sticks over the original for £10 in black

Did you just use a rattle can for the white background? I was going to do mine like that but was worried that the white wouldn't match
