    Taking off Bagdes

    Hey Guys just curious to know how do you go about taking off bagdes on a mk1 I want to freshen them up if possible. As I know that they have holes.

    Also are they just stuck on by a double sided tape?

    I went looking for new ones and they seem to cost a bomb for new ones

    Cheers Steve

    AFAIK the badges are stuck on with double sided tape. Don't know about clips or anything but there is definitely holes for some stupid reason.

    CrazyQuiffs (http://www.golfmk1.co.uk/) is awesome for parts from what I have heard... Also a friendly bloke. Got a lot of rare things like GTI trim and so on. His badges range from £18 to £22.50 and compared to quiet a few others I have seen, thats pretty cheap. He also has the side stripes you were looking for.

    vwturbo.co.uk also has some awesome stuff, including things like reprinted warning stickers like tyre pressure and fuel stickers.

    Mk1 hatch badges should be held by these retainers

    If yours are double side taped, that mean your car ex-ex-owner didn't bother to do it right, these holes are there for good reason.

    Here's another source of replacement badges including some NOS (not that cheap though).

    I just hated how crappy mine were and pulled them off, filled in the holes and sprayed over them.

    I wish I had kept them now...

    ok well what you do is mask the car off get some black spray paint paint the whole badge black. Then follow my instructions with the silver and you will be set
