Thank you for the reply. Yeah I changed them both yesterday. It was a pain to remove the freakin residue! The only thing that works in my experience was acetone. But I got the job done.....eventually lol

Anyone here know how to remove the front emblem for 2012 beetle ?? plan to wrap it with 3m vinyl ! thanks in advance....
In taking the chrome plastic VW eblem off of the rubber backing, did it break? come off easily? I'm looking to plasti-dip mine, but I don't want to spray the whole thing, just the chrome part.For those with 2006 VW's, here's what I found out when installing my new European badges:
1. The original badge is actually made from two pieces. A chrome looking plastic VW logo attached to a black rubberized plastic backing. The VW logo is attached to the black plastic base by a number of small snaps all around the logo. The black plastic base is attached to the car by 2 sided tape. I snapped off the chrome looking piece first with a small screw driver then pulled off the black base as described in this post.
2. On the front of the car, there are no holes in the hood under the badge. As a result, you have to dremel off the two prongs on the new European badge.
Other than than, the instructions already posted are just fine.
P.S. I used a citrus based cross country ski wax remover to get the adhesive off the body from the old badge. Worked like a charm without any damage to the finish.
