I ended up drilling my hood and fitting everything prior to a repaint. Took away the worry a little.

But I repainted a Corrado once, and removed all the foam tape on the emblems and replaced it just like Phil here. I used Würth emblem tape, thin, black foam just like original VW. Yes it was a bit of work, but WAY cheaper than buying new emblems.

That method does work as long as the emblem is going on a smooth flat surface and can be taped in place until the silicone sets up...doesn't work so well if the emblem is going on a curved surface though, it seems one side or the other of the emblem then has a tendency to lift away. I used this method using a 3M clear silicone emblem adhesive to mount all the badges, etc. on the Cobra and it has held the emblems and badges on the car now for almost 12 years since I did a total rebuild/repaint of it.
