I just PlastiDipped my emblems and it was super easy. With the rear, just tape off a square and give it a light 3layers. Let it dry and peal off the tape and paper box. Scratch the rubber til you can grab it with your fingers and then peal it away from the emblem. you dont need to cut around the emblem or anything. its just peals away from it.. Super easy, wish i would have done it earlier.

Sorry to revive a dead thread but I cant get my rear badge off. I tried sliding the credit card around the edge and I can only get it lifted up partially. Anyone have a pic of the badge removed with the clips that hold it on? Might help me to know what Im doing

I found a credit card to be way too thick. I used advice I found somewhere on this site... use a razor blade. Slide it in the bottom right at 6 o clock, and twist. The bottom clip should pop off. Then work your way around. Just be careful because that plastic is soft, it gets marred easily.

damnit i just took mine off but didnt take pics. use a screwdriver (flathead) and just lift the emblem up off the black backing (very slowly) and go around the whole thing lifting it away, until it finally starts getting loose. then you just pop it off. just lift it off one section at a time until it starts getting looser.
just put white vinyl under my chrome, not colormatched, but looks close enough.

I don't understand what people aren't getting about the rear VW, I just used a very thin flat head and slowly pried it off. Make sure you take your time, it seems like it could crack very easily. It's very easy to do, but the front VW emblem, not that is a whole different story.

Really should have read this before I posted my comment, oh well. :iono:

Maybe cause that doesn't always work. Case in point, the one on my car I just broke. :lol:
One clip broke and the emblem itself on the lower where the "W" joins the ring cracked.
Here you go, I know THIS certainly would have helped me. I thought there were clips around the outer ring and in the middle.......there aren't.
I drew arrows for the direction they unclip. Don't laugh at the arrows.
It's really hard to get this off since the assembly rotates as the handle, hard to get at the top ones.
Guess I am ordering a black one from parts4euro ($25) cause the OEM chrome is $42 according to keffer.

Removed mine yesterday. CC was too thick for me as well; used a micro screwdriver to get it stated, then gently pried it up around the edge with my fingers.
