Scirocco Central

Hi! im just wondering what's the best way to take of the vw emblem and what i should use to paint it black? or should i just go and buy from ebay? just bought my scirocco R and i would like to have some tips

Heat them up with a hair drier or a heat gun, not too hot. Use a plastic card to get under it.
Have some glue remover on hand to get the remaining bits off.

Buy a ready painted one, they may look better than what you can achieve at home.
