Heritage is why the red stripe isn't lime green right now.
But I feel the 'GTI' is only great when the VW badge is silver. Doesn't as great otherwise. Might go down the ED30 route. How quick and easy was it to get the badge?
I have had my badge a while, but most dealers can order one and get it the next day, they were £7 odd plus vat, buy now there £9 odd plus vat
Ps, I too think the silver VW badge is needed
