Do you guys put anything between the VW emblem and the top of the hood?

My 57 has the little gobs of gum and my 52 zwitter has the little round discs with the sawtooth pattern like split runningboard material and the buffer stuff under the back seat. Don't know when they stopped with the discs.

here is a factory untouched hood emblem from a '54, the little rubber circles have white putty under them, it is still soft after over 50 years, this is what they looked like, if you make it look any nicer you are doing it wrong

So you mean powder coated dipsticks and 8 layer laquer jack handles are wrong too?  |

Those are also the same ones they use on the hood crest.

For the putty, you can use a bit of gum eraser, available at craft/art stores.

| What is the correct way of bending the tabs on the emblem? Since my hood was missing the emblem, I am not sure how to complete this. |

Any body shop supply house will have a product called Dum Dum for this purpose.
It works better then the above mentioned rubber seals.
