Anyone know why my badges are different?
« on: June 27, 2012, 09:33:30 pm »

Hi guys, newbie to the forum. I purchased my gti 4 months ago but am curios to know why my car has its rear gti badge on the wrong side? It also has a 'golf' badge where the gti badge should be which other cars i have noticed don't have. Has anyone come across this before?

There was guy on here called Duncan who had a candy white import which had the same badges, think it was imported from the UAE though, not Europe.  :happy2:

Your centre VW badge, is it raised the chrome VW badge bit or  flush ... Difficult to see... If it's not raised, it might not be the original boot lid  :scared:

^^^ could be a new boot lid as mentioned above. Do you have a pic of the front of the car - badges on there correct?

May just have been replaced as some 'little tea leaf' took a fancy to them! I think your right though the gti never had a golf badge at the back.

Does your car come with the interior alarm, it's on the roof lining above the b pillar inside the car. As some imports don't get the alarm

It could be simply the previous owner altered the badges around to suit how he/she liked them.

Most likely the prev owner added the badges, can't see why tho. Looks pretty bad
