For Ocean owners it would be nice to know were they can buy matt-black strip to cover all the blinding chrome strip they have in front

Nice, thinking of doing something similar with ours but in orange to add a bit of personal flair. Did you get the badge professional wrapped (or did you buy a new badge?) and what was the cost, if you don’t mind me asking?

The Badge backing colour is a plastic insert.
you can (I have) wrapped the original black insert, simply pop off the VW logo (chrome), remove the black insert.

You can then either replace with the colour of your choice or wrap the original insert.

various vids on tinternet how to remove the front badge

here is one I wrapped in Graffiti wrap. (Cost of wrap)
& the standard colours via Vanstyle (under £9)

i hope that helps

Thanks for that. Are those inserts from VanStyle suitable for the rear badge as well, or is there a separate product…?

Rear badge is totally different.

options If retaining original badge are either Domed Gel type insert or flat vinyl.

various suppliers.

here is what I did using a Gel 3D insert (from a well known multi coloured auction site)
the 3m Adhesion promoter is not included with the insert, but it’s a good idea to use it after scrupulously cleaning the badge with IPA.
