Hi guys,

I've been Googling, YouTubing and searching these forums for a definitive answer on how to remove the front VW emblam and the rear VW badge.

Now before you suggest just plasti-dipping the badges the colour of your choice, I am aware of this option, but some people may want to remove the badges to get a more even finish.

Regardless, removal is still a viable option and hopefully we can get to a consensus on how to remove the emblems on the 6R.

Links from my search:

Removing front VW badge

There were many more, including videos etc, however nothing conclusive for the 6R that is easy (without having to remove the grill).

Based on research i've found

Front VW Emblem:
Method 1: Removal of the whole front/honeycomb grill and then taking out the emblem by turning either clockwise or counter clockwise

Method 2: Without removing the front/honeycomb grill, turn the emblem counter clockwise or clockwise.

Rear VW Emblem:
Method 1: Flip up the badge, there is a small space/gap, use a fine flat head screw driver and then carefully pry it off, be weary of the tabs/clips that hold the badge in place, you'll have to bed those tabs to get the badge off.

Method 2: Do the same as above, using an old credit card (pictures in the links above of this being done).

Granted most or all of the links above are for Polo 9N's, Golfs, Jetta and other VW's, does anyone know of or can locate instructions for front and back VW emblem removal on the Polo 6R?

If not, I will be endevoring to put something together here with some videoes uploaded, as i've just recently ordered some gloss black emblems for both the front and the rear of my Polo.

Watch this space and please share if you have any further info!

Thanks guys,
Lawrence
