Do we leave the indent there and just stick the badge over it all the pics i have looked at they all look like there on a smooth surface thick or what?

you could always do what im doing, once the big badge is off, buy and colour code a smaller vw sharan badge - which incidentally sits nicely in the recess. will post some pics once ive done it but heres an example (original badge on left, sharan badge colour coded on right):

i think macdaddy has done that VC. Both colour coded badges (R32 or Sharan) look good to me!

I personally dont like the sharan badge as it shows the recess edge which just looks a little odd to me :(

Its also ok as long as your paint is fine under the badge as you may find the glue on the double sided tape has weakend your original paints etc. I know when I did mine the paint didn't look too great under the badge :(

Have you tried any body shops? Ask what they use, sure wouldnt cost very much if anything for the small amount you will need, I went to a body shop after having my badge removed and painted and they gave me half a jar of the liquid they use to remove the old double sided tape.
