new silver badges?

[Tristan H 10]

Where can I get the front and rear Vw badges , and a new Corrado one for the rear? All the chrome is worn off mine .

i've seen them on ebay recently. Just search 'corrado badge'.

 

Think the rear vw is rare and expensive.

Check the diametre and fitting before you buy, but i'm 99% sure the rear central round vw badge is the same fitment as a mk2 golf item, which should make it more common and cheaper. The only difference is the corrado item is the same thickness all rounds whereas the mk2 item is thicker on the lower edge, but nobody but a concourse judge will notice ;)

 

I will go and dig out my old corrado badge and take a pic of my mk2 badge in situ.

 

the main central vw badge is also definately late mk2 golf spec. My white car has a black badge of a mk2 16v, which looks much nicer than the silver in the black grill on a white car :D

 

..i'll go find some codes and pics.

Rear chrome VW badge and rear chrome Corrado badges are now obsolete - you cannot buy them new. You can buy the rear Corrado badge in primer from the VW dealer however and spray paint it to match your cars colour with rattle cans..

 

Otherwise, as has been said - eBay for second hand items is your only option unfortunately! :(

You can buy replica chrome rear Corrado badges from ARZ Tuning in Germany. They aren't quite the same finish as the originals but might be close enough.

Here's my old Corrado rear badge held up against a Mk2 Golf badge which I fitted. You might be able to retain the black cup to keep it looking genuine, but I can't remember if I used the new wedge shaped one because the mounting lugs were too long on the new badge, or something like that. You also need the blue grommets / expanders, which get damaged by fitting as they push into the sheet metal. They usually come with these on a new item (if you can source one) but do remember to grab the used ones just in case they are good condition, if you end up at a scrap yard. The front badge is identical fitment to a Mk2 - just raid that scrap yard!

part code for the new Mk2 rear badge is 191 853 601 G. The original flatter badge has 357 853 601 and 357 853 601 B stamped on the back (I assume one code is the badge and the other code is the black mounting). I believe 357 makes it a Corrado item. 191 is "A2" (Mk2) Golf-series numbering I think.

part code is 191 853 601 H for the worn silver item I've got. the Mk2 black badge was definately a straight swap, just push out from the centre of the grill.

If you like black front badges:

This looks right for the front, judging by the part code they quote:

Now I think about it, I reckon my new rear badge came from Greece a couple of years ago!

...I haven't had one of these from a UK VW dealer since about 2003.

 

Good luck! :D

^^ I bought an unused rear VW badge recently. I can't recall if it was from a seller on here on on ebay. But it did indeed turn out to be thicker at one end and I assume was actually a mk2 badge instead of a Corrado one. I just re-used the original black plastic 'cup' and put the badge in it. It wasn't quite as good a fit to be honest (it sat in the cup perfectly well but the lugs didn't secure it as well). So I also secured it with a thin bead of clear silicone to stop any water ingress behind the badge.

 

Now it's on fine and, as mentioned above, unless you're a concourse judge, you'd be hard pressed to tell it's any different to the original one. It looks the same but just very slightly thicker at one end.
