Finally got round to getting my Sharan VW badge onto the car at the weekend. Took so long 'cos I wanted to colour code it.

Here are some before and afters, what do you guys think?

Now I'm thinking about taking the other badges off- I'm away to do some photo-chopping!

 

[Dazer]

looks good mate, where did you get it and how much? did it take much to c/code it?

 

[Paul C]

Nice [^]

 

[J111ASE]

[sdesailly]

Yes - fits flat and flush unlike the Passat one which is curved. I fitted mine at the w/e but haven't colour coded it so it doesn't look as good...!

Yeah like that smaller badge, nice little mod, is it easy to remove the old one?

 

[Richard W]

Yes - bit of cotton and some warm water, don't forget to remove all the old sticky stuff before putting the new one on.

Oi! You've got me paranoid now[B)]

Cheers for the comments guys, it's the type of mod I like- you notice a difference but don't really know what it is.

Part number is as Richard said, but mine was ?12.24 inc VAT, and someone else on here got it for about ?10!

I was lucky when I took my badge off cos the glue pad for the old one stayed on the car in one piece, and was exactly the same size as the new badge. As the glue on the new one had lost it's stick while it was being painted I just whacked it on the old glue and voila!

I'm 90% sure I'm going to take the other badges off now, but I do like people to know what it is. Mmmmmm...decisions, decisions.........

 

[Stevoraith]

Oh yeah, Dazer asked about painting- its pretty straight forward.

There are 6 plastic heads on the rear of the badge which you need to break off with a screwdriver. The chrome bit just comes away leaving the plastic bit to be coded.

This is where I cheated- my mate has a racing car and therefor his own painting rig. He did it for me in about 10mins.

I have to say though, I think you would get a better finish using VW's own spray packs which come with the laquer for about ?12. If you take your time I think its pretty easy.

Very nice. Have to pop out tomorrow morning and grab mysely on

Looks cool m8 just wondering what annd where did you get your wiper arm from been looking for one for ages is it a Audi A4 rear arm,was it a straight swop??[8D]

 

[Stevoraith]

It's a Skoda Fabia one mate.

Goes straight on as long as you don't have a rear spoiler, in which case you might get some catching at the 12 o'clock position.

 

[M8 NNY]

Can you remember the part nomber,sorry to ask but it does look very neat !!![8)]

 

[Stevoraith]

Sorry mate, don't have an invoice as I got it second hand from Foxy.

There is only one for the Fabia hatch though- it has never changed throughout the Fabias life. Just go to the Skoda dealer and ask for a rear wiper for a Fabia hatch, you'll get the right one. It should be about ?12-15 as far as I can remember.
