Don't want to piss on anyones chips, But the rear badge 'split, paint, stick' job is really easy if you know what your doing.

I'll list what i did,

  1. Dental floss between the back of the badge and the boot lid.
  2. Turned the badge over to see multiple pins coming from the chrome trim, through the black trim and then heat molded over to stick them together.
  3. Drilled the heat molds off the pins (taking as little as possible off, To keep the length in the pins)
  4. Used '7447 scotch brite' to lightly remove the edge off the chrome, Then panel wiped the dust off.
  5. Then painted the badge using 'Auto smart Matt black'
  6. Refitted the badge back together, Super gluing up the pins on the chrome trim first, then left to set and then using my hot glue gun went over the back of the pins to make sure it was secure.
  7. Then i followed the VW outline on the back of the badge with some double sided foam tape.
