helllooooo....
been tinkering like crazy in these lockdown times & need a little advice please!
Have a 2015 startline T6 - any tips on getting off the chrome front trim either side of the VW badge without busting it up??
A little reluctant to force it...
Any advice HUGELY appreciated

I would also like to know if this is possible, have you managed to do it since you posted?

success!!! used a plastic trim tool (ebay). there are a few clips top & bottom of the chrome trims, but with some firm coaxing they DO come away. Not sure if it was just mine,

but at the centre by the VW badge, the trims kind of go behind the badge by about 2mm, but they will eventually come away.
I used plastidip for the colour. Not the greatest job but still love it.
Good luck

Hi

Can the middle grill be removed on the start line t6? Looking to get for the gloss black ones.

They’re all part of the bumper on the Startline and can’t be removed.
