2018 VW GTI SE Ep.224: How To Remove your MK7.5 Front Emblem (and Wrap It)

[@noophe5747]

That screw driver tip to pop it out the top was so handy. Thanks very much

[@LastHumansGarage]

no problem noop dedoop!

[@miamirice6840]

great to see another “older guy” listening to classic rock and tuning/customizing a V Dub 🙌

[@LastHumansGarage]

Bro, in all seriousness. Music is my life. I could not survive this life without music. I found it is true that music heals the soul.

[@miamirice6840]

@@LastHumansGarage so true 🙌

[@wobgolf]

Good afternoon from Malta, what is the best way to insert the screw driver, horizontal or vertical please?

[@DatGameCollector]

So on my rabbit i did a red inlay from klii motorwerks. And i bought the rear emblem for a mk7 to overlay it. It looks nice.

[@LastHumansGarage]

Good choice!

[@xcg1234]

IDK if I'm the only one NOT a fan of these kinda mod. I found original emblem beautiful and darken version makes the whole car looks old. Also I don't like "rear wiper deleted", "GTI logo deleted" those kind of mod either.. But that just my opinion. Great tutorial for those who interested.

[@LastHumansGarage]

i hate rear wiper delete also.

[@LastHumansGarage]

new video in a sec showing the white VW over it.

[@ISAMI]

Thanks. Been waiting for a video like this for months

[@LastHumansGarage]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@DarkHelmet1976]

Great video. Thanks for posting this. Once you have the front emblem removed from the grill, is it possible to further dissemble the emblem? I'm hoping it's possible to separate the chrome "VW" from the emblem, with the goal of powder coating the VW black and remounting after I've used a gray vinyl wrap to cover the black backing piece. So, instead of the stock chrome-on-black emblem, I'd have a black-on-gray emblem which I could then reinstall on the grill. Thanks for any insight you might have!

[@LastHumansGarage]

naw bro, i mean.. its possible.. sure.. if you have a solder iron to melt all the plastic attachment areas and stuff but not worth it.. i'd have to watch this again, i dont even remember what it looks like anymore.

[@BrynnCobane-gm9xj]

Any ideas where i can get a black badge for this model ?

[@LastHumansGarage]

naw, prob gotta custom make it. or google it.

[@VickiVick505]

is there no way to take apart the front emblem? that way we can just do colored inlay?

[@LastHumansGarage]

you do an inlay without taking it apart. they sell kits.

[@cyndylamphier2685]

Well I need to check that ACC sensor and replace the cracked emblem so THANKS

[@LastHumansGarage]

Glad I'm not the only one who struggles with dirt on the back end with a white golf 😂

[@LastHumansGarage]

hell ya brother

[@DuanDao]

Thank you for this. I wrapped my rear emblem and was trying to figure out how to do the front. I’m going to get tint the whole circle Another option for the rear you might want to try with your broken old one, hydro dipping. It just might work

[@LastHumansGarage]

broken old one is long gone. but ya hydro dip would work. might buy a new one and have it done.

[@arsonliu9365]

can the heat wind crack the front emblem?

[@LastHumansGarage]

the heat wind?

[@arsonliu9365]

@@LastHumansGarage sorry. I was asking if the heat from the hot air gun may cause the crack on the emblem. I found my emblem cracked but not sure what casue it.

[@crabo3796]

@@arsonliu9365 Not unless your emblem was very cold when you did it

[@francescoiacovelli5213]

is the same for polo 2020?

[@LastHumansGarage]

i dont know. maybe.

[@yakuza1970]

Adding a wrap there doesn't interfere with the sensors behind the emblem?

[@LastHumansGarage]

nope

[@lukejngs]

If I remember correctly the hardest part was the sides of the emblem to wrap? Now you can just use the front piece placing it on top of the black, so you’ll won’t have to worry with those flimsy side pieces

[@LastHumansGarage]

BRO... i just found a spare white VW i had left! making a new video now!

[@cdesch2003]

What kind of vinyl or wrap did you use?

[@LastHumansGarage]

my current favorite is Avery Dennison, its the easiest to work with regarding bubbles.

[@cdesch2003]

@@LastHumansGarage thanks. I’ll check that out. How hot was your heat gun?

[@LastHumansGarage]

@@cdesch2003 its a 500/1000 i think. 500 is plenty for this stuff

Gotta do the Starman on that clean black emblem 😉 2112 is my favorite album!

[@LastHumansGarage]

hahah i love that album!

[@99SVTBolt]

First thing I did after I got the car was get the front end covered with PPF. VW has soft paint and chips easily.

[@LastHumansGarage]

VW paint is rock hard compared to Subaru paint..

[@johndoe5229]

It’s a car drive it!’ Cheers

[@matteomonaco294]

Buonasera ma non da problemi al sensore? Ho è una pellicola particolare?

[@LastHumansGarage]

No, it does not effect the sensore.

[@nocseven6669]

Anyone that did that on their front emblems on the 7.5 had any problems with the front assist light going on?

[@LastHumansGarage]

nope.

[@nocseven6669]

@@LastHumansGarage Thank you for the reply. Because I had a lot of problems with the front assist sensor. It's been fixed 3 times.

prob not.

If you wrap it, it may mess up your ACC and AEB 🤔

it doesnt. lot of people tried it. vinyl does not stop radar.
