    Problem replacing badge on Golf MK5

    The bottom edge of the hole looks broken.. that may be stopping it securing into place? You could try using glue to fix the grille first. then when dry, try fitting the badge.

    Spare wheel ?

    Yup.. much better than cans of inflation sealant stuff. but thats what they offer unfortunatly. If you buy a car then get a wheel.. and knowledge if needed.. just a thought, if they dont supply spare wheels do they supply tools? jack wheel brace?

    Spare wheel ?
