Yep 4, with plastic grommets between the badge and bodywork to stop water getting in.

Watch it with the badge, it can be a little weak in the middle and break. The "thin" point is visible.

Remove and spray

Entirely agree.

Having hand painted and sprayed bits of cars, etc, for decades (mostly with rubbish end result) the best way to deal a small item like the badge is to remove it (dead easy) and use a spray paint suitable for exterior plastic.

Follow instructions on can, I can assure you this is important. Use at correct temperature - clean/degrease item first with solvent which does not attack the plastic.

I changed the rear badge on my J reg G60 and my M reg VR and they both had 2 holes not 4. Steve you're not getting confused with that fiesta are ya!?

Why not just buy a black badge. They are the same as the passat ones, I got mine for 4 quid from VW so you must be able to pick one up somewhere for the price of a can of spray paint. It allows you to go back to standard if you so desire aswell.

4 holes on my 16v and VR. 2 holes behind VW badge - if you mean that?

 

It's the Corrado script badge guys - not the VW emblem.

Apologies, im with ya. In which case try some high grade sandpaper cos its black underneath!

 

Now if you'll excuse me I think i've left the oven on.

So you the bloke who drives the C round ipswich with a Passat badge! :D

No one seems to know what it is anyway, damn heathens!

Yeah, why is that? Its not exactly a difficult word to pronounce is it???? :?

Some people just have to pronounce things wrong, they do it on purpose to annoy people like me who are genetically programmed to correct others.

 

Its like when people say Pacific instead of specific and ekscaped instead of escaped. Its called being thick.

 

I'll get off my soap box now!

Im not alone then, thank god!

 

This might be worth a thread. "Whats your most hated misuse of grammer" :lol:

 

I really hope 'misuse' is one word or im in for some major embarresment.

Back to mispronouncing Corrado, still off topic but at least I didn't start it.

My Dad can not get it into his head and always refers to my Cordoba!!!!

 

Go figure... (if that's a phrase that's not going to upset too many people)

Sorry, but your use of the word "misuse" was the only correctly spelled and punctuated part of that posting .. ;)

Thanks for that, but did you really need two full stops?
