robrado974 1 Posted November 28, 2012 Hi all , about 18 months back i had my car repainted , as well as having the weldlines welded and filled i decided to debadge it as well . I want to refit the badges now ,you know what its like , you do one thing then 2 years later you change it again , i know the holes should be re-drilled but i would crap myself doing this !. I spose the only way would be to let my local painter do it ?. I have two other vr's that are very close to me so getting the measurements would not be a problem , only other way is to stick them on ? but that would look bad wouldn't it ? . Any advice would be appreciated thanks . Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw_john 10 Posted November 28, 2012 The other badges are stuck on! I would stick them on with .8mm thick trim tape and just cut the tabs off of an old Corrado badge, in case you change your mind again! ;] I put my supercharged badge on with trim tape, and it sits and looks perfect!

robrado974 1 Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) The vw badge has the tabs on it , spose if i use the trim tape on that it will be fine , thanks for reply .Another thing , were all corrado script badges colour coded ? or did they come in chrome effect as well, , my vr6 badge is chrome effect , sript is coded , i also have vw badge coded and chrome effect .

That is an excellent idea. I had a rear end respray on mine this year, wanted to keep the badges/original look and didn't get the holes filled. Now, it is just rust waiting to happen again. A stuck on badge is much better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted November 30, 2012 Had a look today , im not sure about the vw badge ,even with the tabs off it seems to stick out ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted November 30, 2012 the vw badge is sunk into the rear panel so wont sit flush with just the tabs removed. the corrado badge will be fine. the only way will be to have another panel sunk back in, but that'll involved welding etc so will be very difficult to get perfect. other option is to look at any other vw you can think of to see if they did a similar badge not sunk, but i cant think of any :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted December 1, 2012 Well as i have a spare badge i am going to have a go at cutting the back right off , so i can get it to sit flush . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
