haha that looks good! how did you do it.. like what type of paint, did you take the badge off etc..?

thanks mate

i bought touch up paint from my VW dealership. only cost £3.09 i think!! (just gave them my reg to get the exact colour)

it comes with a brush in the lid, so I just brush painted it. Didn't take the badge off though.

used the rough side of a sponge to get any red off the silver badge

Gonna do the front badge the same i think

not sure how long it will last lol but it's a cheap job to fix it

debadge, dewidered and lock would look sweet

Do you mean de-locking my doors?

whats dewidered lol

De-wipered I think, removing the rear screen wiper. Easy job, cleans up the back end a treat.

And I think he means de-locking your boot.

oh i'd love to de-lock my boot and de-handle my doors for that matter, anyone know anyone in the UK that can do it?

Dewipering will cost about 25p for a grommet. Why get alloys first?

And anyway, lowering should come well before alloys. ;)

Like the back badge, I did mine too. Not keen on the front one though, makes it stand out rather than blend in with the grill.
