Yeah I'm being lazy.. Front Badge question

[vwdeviant 0]

How does the front badge come out of a late (3 bar) grill? Just pop it out or remove the grill.

 

Need to get it out to respray the (formerly chrome) grey plastic one satin black

Held in by two clips to the grill. Take it out if you want to see properly, but should pop out with GENTLE persuasion.

4. blu-tak it back on and hope no one notices

Good work the old black badge mod is best, cheap'ish at GSF when the paint starts to peel mate £7 or £8

Not a bad job even though I say so myself! And at a cost of £2.50!
