front grill and rear vw badges in black? *pic update*

[Riley 0]

the vw roundell ones...

 

are these easy to remove,had a quick look at the rear one,looks like it should just pop out?

 

what about the grill one?

 

in fact,are they available in black?

or ill remove and paint them tommorow (today :? )

 

cheers,neil.

Get them in black from gpc for £5 each or spray yours. Back one pulls out(2 rubber gromets hold it in) For the front just take your grill out and unclip from behind. Just done mine and looks better !

if the rear wont pull easily then go in the boot and push it :-)

A 90 spec MK2 black one fits if you struggle to find a C one.

 

With the rear badge, go easy when putting it in with the new clips as you can easily indent the back panel if you push too hard. I've been there!

With the rear badge, you are best off putting the blue grommets into the body work first (they are a bit tight to push in but should kinda click into place when they get there) then push the rear badge on and it will sit properly flush.

 

If you do it the other way round (put the grommets on the badge and then try and push the whole lot in) it doesnt work properly and your badge will still be a bit loose and will also potentially let in a little water when it rains.

 

HTH :)

Oh ! I know him well too ! What i did wonder was do the earlier (more slats in grille) G60 grille badges have different clips ?? Just that the gap looks so small ?

[Riley 0]

not sure to be honest m8? :oops:

 

anyone?
