Rear badges "GOLF" & "GTI", which side?
« on: August 06, 2009, 12:13:08 am »
Does the mk5 GTI come with "GOLF" and "GTI" badge as standard?

I've noticed some have both, some have just "GTI" and very rare occasion none (but I assume owner debadged).

if it's both, or just GTI, which side should the GTI badge be, i.e. passenger or driver side on the rear?

GTI's never had a Golf Badge. Should just have the GTI badge on the passenger side.  :happy2:

Unless it's a LHD car where it becomes the driver's side...   :laugh:

...and since we're being pedantic, it's a capital "I" - GTI.

Excellent, but what are dimensions a and b supposed to be?

EDIT - found the info myself, a should be 50 mm, b should be 90 mm.  Thats for a non-gti though, and the dimensions are a mirror image on the other side (except measuring from the end of the number).

I know someone with a GTI and it had both badges with the GTI on the driver side. Strange. It was a UK VW purchased car too
