mk6 rear badge fits mk5 rear Its bevelled too which gave me a thrill when fitted It may also be worth street cred points or something :happy2:
 Front is  125mm but not 100% sure
 Try and find the complete Mk6 handle as this will fit. Have seen them on ebay for £30
 Make sure the 3 fixing points on the front badge are correct as there are one or two variations
 Ill get a pic...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-VW-GOLF-5-MK5-FRONT-GRILL-BADGE-CADDY-TOURAN-POLO-EOS-/152312161756?hash=item23768325dc:g:FA8AAOSwdIFXzT9G..These ones have the flexible fixing points some others don't

Thank you for the reply @4ndy

I was thinking of just replacing the badge and not the whole boot mechanism TBH which is why I wanted to know if the sizes are the same for the rear.

The gti front badge looks small the the GT one. It wanted to be sure.

Thanks

I had a mk6 bevelled badge fitted on my mk5 rear handle You will have to remove a couple of the locating tangs to fit snug.
 Not sure about the GT badge fitting the GTI Suggest you have a search for images sizes etc  GTI badges are http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Bumper-Grille-Badge-Emblem-Logo-For-VW-Caddy-Eos-Golf-GTI-GLI-Polo-Touran-/152162968280?hash=item236d9ea2d8:g:bSwAAOSw7XZXgvrR

That's not a problem as I can fit the rear one on by prying the old one off. It's the gt grill and on black is what I need.

Thanks for the links

The front VW badge from the GTI will not fit on the GT Sport grille. The GT Sport VW emblem is 150mm across and has an extra lip to snugly fit on the GT grille, the GTI one will just slip through the hole!  :surprised:

Part number is 1K5 853 600 MQH and can be had for about a tenner. My uncle had the same dilemma for his Passat B6 where he upgraded his grille from midline to highline only for the badge to fall in! Got it from this seller and all is well in the end!
