MK4 Engine badge on MK3

[Jondarren]

Hi guys,

has anyone done a swap with their OEM tailgate badge for the newer Silver on blue badge from the MK4 engine cover?

I've found a place on ebay that has the engine cover badge, but i dunno if its a straight fit. How is the rear badge fixed to the car? Is it stuck on or with clips?

The new blue badge uses 3 clips and is roughly 79mm in diameter. Here's the link to the item:

The guys store on ebay has loads of MK3 stuff and shipping is pretty reasonable too.

Any help would be appreciated. If this doesn't work, its a black badge for me.

Cheers

If you're talking about replacing the badge on the rear of your car underneath the wiper, then it's stuck on so you'll need to file off the clips of the new badge first

ive got spare rear and front mk3 vw badges if you need them.

Is the rear chrome plated Dom?

Cool, thanks for that. I'm guessing its the OEM badges you have right? No blue ones? hehe

As long as the panel behind the standard badge is flat, it will be easy to file the clips off and stick on the blue badge.

Has anyone tried it and more importantly how does it look?

I don't think I've seen it on here mate; it would probs look good but it depends on the colour of your car.

Got a maroon coloured MK3 so its dark enough to make it stand out. Think i'll give it a go and see how it turns out.

These subtle changes are a good way to mess about and try new ideas, on the cheap too!

And that Transformer Badge is hilarious. Do it!

Lachie, I wanted an autobot sticker on my car when I realised the only people that had transformer stickers were male asian teenagers(no offence to asians, it was just an observation I made), and often quite geeky ones at that.

So unless you want to be constantly mistaken for a nerdy asian teenager then may I suggest otherwise.

I've seen that blue badge on a bright colour concept blue VR6 online and it looked fantastic, so its effectiveness really depends on the colour of the car its on.

Pics for sure once i get the badge. Grabbed some smoked side indicators at the same time.

I think it will look sweet.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Smoked things FTW!

[Jondarren]

Haha. They've arrrived!

My shiny new MK4 Engine cover badge and smoked indicators. Will be fitting these pronto, and it will be interesting to see how the blue/white badge looks on the tailgate.

They look the goods man, might even look good on my car! Pics when it's on!

Is it done yet?

I like the idea of the blue badge on the Mk3... want to see it in real life too which means you will need to bring your Mk3 to the Coilover Extravaganza!
