Just a quick search done on some modding sites local to me:

http://www.autostyle.co.za/prodview.php?prod_id=15647&pid=vw&cid=Golf Mk5&pg=1&showall=1&brandstr=&str=

http://www.autostyle.co.za/prodview.php?prod_id=17059&pid=vw&cid=Golf Mk5&pg=1&showall=1&brandstr=&str=

And for Joe:

http://www.autostyle.co.za/prodview.php?prod_id=17063&pid=vw&cid=Golf Mk5&pg=1&showall=1&brandstr=&str=

I have emailed the numbers to VW and will see what they reply with.

Accoridng to oemplus this is the vw code 1J0853675AK

I don't understand why we can't order any VW part from our dealer, all he would have to do is order it from Germany no ? 

I've got alot of my parts for my BMWs which were only qavailable in Germany / rare ?

I'll take that part number see what the parts guy says ?

Hello guys

Bad news...

Unfortunately VW only stocks the silver badge. And the silver badge with red "I" Letter. The badge with the red "I" letter in it has the product code that TT posted and is only for the back not the front.

According to a good mate at VW SA Volkswagen DO NOT in any way produce the red badges any longer. Not even for a MK4 anni edition. So any point of searching other countries is not worth it.

He supplied me the link to OEMplus and said that they stock it which we already know.

I am waiting for two more replies from other dealers just to validate what has been said but unfortunately if you want a badge of decent quality OEMplus is the way forward...

On the other hand... I could find out how much it would cost to make them... I have some friends in that regard.... And with South Africa having a weak rand it should be pretty cheap...

What you guys think?

Thanks for that Mike, appreciate it .  :smiley:

Like Shaun said a £100 a badge is ridiculous !

I might just debadge the rear end and stick an Ed30 badge bang on in the middle somewhere underneath the VW boot hinge ?

and the for the front just buy a debaged grill ?

Two things that really annoy me about this item!

1. Postage cost is ridiculous for such a small light item

2. They list it in the MKV section and this item will NOT fit on a MKV grille!!  :mad:
