The clear coat is flaking off my center VW badge on the air-bag leaving a clouded plastic letter behind where there was shinny chrome. Has any one replaced theirs or delt with this in a way that restored what was? Chrome paint?

Woo Hoo! 45mm! That's what I need. Looks as good as what was on there and without the chrome outer ring which doesn't add anything anyway. Thank You.

Update: I ordered the badge and it came (from China) in a month $15.00 not bad. I peeled off the backing and placed it right over the existing one and it looks fine! Oh, and yes I learned that the factory badge is bonded to the airbag so no trying to pry that baby off. This is a nice fix though. Thank you o6RSGTI.
