I think everyone's seen mine by now!  :wink: :wink:

From what I've seen Shaun, unless you go for the OEM badges they start to discolour and pitt within the first 6 months or so. So in answer to one of your question's, the front one will cost you at least £50 + then youv'e got to pull the thing apart!!  :surprised:

It is OEM but for the MK4, then you have to transfer the letters. Im now onto my third (cheap) rear and the front one looks as good as the day I fitted it!  :happy2:

The 6quid one's from ebay also are a incy bit smaller - not that you would notice though.

The OEM one would be nice - but 50 smackers!

Those look really good. Wonder if they would suit a silver GTi?

The rear one is "1J0 853 675 AH GQF" - GTI emblem in chrome/chrome/red - about a tenner.

Can't find the front one.
