You stick a credit card in there to get started then find like a butter knife or something haha that's just what I did. Be careful tho...

yea thats the easiest way to do it. If you remove it then you need to get 3m tape and stick it back on...just tape around it enough so you have room for over spray. are you using plasti dip or paint?

Don't sand it, just clean it off real good. i suggest plasti dipping it. Go to home depot and pick up a can. That way if you don't like the way it looks you can peel it off and no harm to the emblem/car. I see you new to the for but just search plasti dip and you will see what people have done with it. Also you tube it and you can see how easily it is to remove if you don't like it.

Ill post a pic up tomorrow of mine if you want.

taping it is a pain in the ass geting tape in all the tight corners ect..
best way to do it would be to take it off, i have seached many times with no success.

I was able to pry the VW emblem and backing from the boot mechanism, but once off could not work out how to remove the emblem from the black backing??

if anyone with some experiance could hellp out that would be much appreciated from me aswell! Bump!!
