Get a full red GTI badge from VW as they are better quality than most of the Ebay stuuf. Most are just vinyl plastic for the red and fade quickly. Some of them you can even see that the plastic red bit isn't on straight :scared:
Golf R gone.

The rear ive chanced on ebay as it was only a couple of quid, but the front one, which mark of Golf  replaces the current honeycomb grill type with a red version?

I got some of ebay and they were fine, just a tiny bit smaller than the originals, I liked the look, was just looking for pictures and the only pics I've got are the smashed up ones :smiley:

Yep, thats the front I've got but can only be imported from the States and are a tad on the pricey side!  :surprised:

just received and shoved them on, done front and Back all for the price of £2.47 a badge. Managed to remove the old badges without even dislodging the sticky pads with the wife's hairdryer.
I like the front but not sure on the rear?.

Rear looks a little lost in all the red maybe??

For a couple of quid, it might be worth ruining one and playing around with the colour of the vinyl? Carefully pick it out, have some copied and try something like black??
Sideways yo!

Was there not a spacer with it as the rear looks a bit close?

I like it though!  :happy2:

^^^Nath, did you have a red rear badge too?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
