The actual rear VW in a circle is 3 7/8th diameter. You could get one of the stick on emblems that they sell in 3 1/2. It's not identical, but it should look pretty good.

Heck get it in blue and stick out from the Vanagon crowd.
:)

They also have a "VAN" emblem, and several variations on the "Volkswagen" emblem.

(I have bought from them years ago, and had good service.)

I looked everywhere for new ones without any luck and the used ones for sale are no better than mine.  Does anyone have or know where I can get New Emblems or if not where I can take, in northern Va or send mine to have them repainted?  I would settle for Transporter in lieu of Vanagon GL.  If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
