Front Badge

[Richard Hurst]

I have removed the chrome part of my front badge to spray black but wanted to colour the underneath part as well below the part so that it’s green underneath and the VW part is black. Does this section in the photo below come out or is it all moulded as part of the grill

The clips are designed to break off if you remove it.

OK so it would be a case of spraying in situ or would one of these that you can get on Ebay fit?

Please excuse the old thread revival, how did you manage to get the chrome badge front off? Mine doesn't want to budge and there doesn't seem to be obvious play around the side to get a trim tool in to prise it away.

Thanks, I did see that but was having trouble getting anything in between the badge and the surround. I keep trying

Hi. Did you have any luck removing? I’m in the same boat. Want to replace with a black one, but it won’t move. Can’t really get it in the grooves. Maybe transporter badges are different to California.

I have removed mine using the technique exactly as the vid using the exact same trim tool.

Copt the Ve by starting at the top etc.

And you have a California? Did the badge not break?

I have a T6 Beach,
The badge did not break on mine.

I removed mine without breaking. On a California Ocean.

Just removed and replaced mine. Just needed a better tool and a bit more bravery. Thanks for confirming
