Thanks. I think your ride looks better, also, because from more than a few feet away, black logos suffer the same illusion as black wheels: they just look like black circles.

Mark D Any advice on putting the rear badge onto the car. I just can’t seem to attach the new gloss black emblem. The grooves around the outside of the badge aren’t as pronounced and don’t seem to be gripping. Granted it’s a cheap copy made in China but I’ve been trying and trying for about an hour and I think I’m about to rip my own face off🤯🤬

Can't the front badge be changed on mk 7.5?

Hey mate, Do you know if it is the same process on the rear of a 7.5?

rear should be the same afaik, yes, but front is different as the radar sensor has moved into the VW badge on the facelifted models.

For the front I’m thinking get rid of the VW badge only thing that puts me off a little is the notches none of them look like they fit right and the back id got anthracite grey badge with a white backing plate

MrMental Nice choice and you can get the deBadged grill for the front but for the notch you would need to get the bonnet smoothed or they do a plastic cut out but that doesn’t look as good

Does your R have dynamic cruise control? Your front VW logo looks different than mine

@justus9694

Then you've propably got the facelifted model, right? Those have the ACC (adaptive cruise control) radar sensor fitted inside the VW badge. The pre-facelift models like the one shown in this video have "analog" VW badges without any electronics and instead have the optional radar sensor mounted behind the front bumper with a cutout unterneeth the VW badge. Also a reason why many people didn't go for the ACC option, as it doesn't necessarily make the cars appearance prettier. It's hard to see in the video, but as far as i could see, the one from this video doesn't have the ACC. Hope this helped ;)

Is that color from the spectrum options called Mars red on your car?

Should i go with the stock emblem or black for my black R

@justus9694

I've got a black GTI and I'll for sure get the black one for the rear at least. Mine has also got the 90% window tint, and I think it looks absolutely awesome when theres no shiny chrome VW badge. On the front I might keep the original one as a black one might seem strange with the red line on GTIs, but for an R I'd definitely go for another black badge.

my back emblem is impossible to take off this is so frustrating

The grill behind the badge, did it come from factory black? If not, how did you get it in black?

It depends on whether you have the ACC (adaptive cruise control) or active city stopping feature. If so, you can't change the front badge other than stick a decal on it as the radar sensor is mounted inside the badge. Even a decal may irritate the radar sensor though, not sure about this.

I cant find any of the emblem badges that have the clips on them, only the adhesive. Can you possibly send me a link for the ones with clips? Thank you!

well, it depends. If you've got the facelifted model (2017+) and you're talking about the front badge, then the answer is no. If you've got the pre-facelift model (2012 to 2017), then the answer is yes, you can. The reason simply being that the radar sensor needed for your ACC is fitted inside (/behind) the VW badge on the facelifted models, but behind a cutout in the front bumper for the pre-facelift models.
