Front VW Badge

  1. I have managed to clip my badge on slightly rotated! So jacked off! It is not enough for me to redrill more holes as they will be to close to the original ones that I drilled! Any ideas!
    Thanks :(

  3. I was told once, that rather than try and hide a flue, to make it a focal point ! I'd think about leaving it tilted, and hang something off one corner of it to make it look like that was you idea!

  8. Thin double sided number plate tape. Get the widest stuff, which I thing is about 2" stick it all over the back leaving no gaps and leaving one side of the backing on, then put on a flat surface, and applying pressure to the badge, cut out all the tape that shows through carefully using a craft knife, simples. And it covers your holes which you obviously havee already sealed the edges of with a bit of touch up. One last tip, when you re-attach it, put it on straight.

    Thanks for all the advice guys, went with double sided sticky just felt I could take it off and go grip fill if didn't work but I happened to have industrial double sided tape so seems to work a treat thanks :)

  15. You should try putting it in the middle where it belongs. It will look better that way and not look like such a botch job
