@Eighteen88

2 on ebay : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Schriftzug-Edition-35-Golf-6-GTI-GTD-R32-GT-schwarz-Hochglanz/263927649433?epid=1525359351&hash=item3d73505499:g:8YoAAOSwo6lWP0S3
but very expensive

You could also buy the chrome version and buy the black stickers to go over the top (also on ebay) but not as nice
Or buy the chrome version and plastidip or paint

these badges now just seem to be going up in price significantly unfortunately

@john_o

Yeah I noticed them on eBay mate but like you say far too expensive for what they are, I’m meeting up with a boy that’s done a bit of bodywork for me in the past, I’ll mention to him about painting them but my concern would be if they start flaking they’ll look cheap/tacky with the chrome showing through 

[john_o]

what edition is it again ?  fun minimod
Added EDITION 35 red script above the glovebox

replaced the front Dunlop Sportmax with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 , a far superior tyre in every way.
http://johnoldfield.blogspot.com/2018/12/golf-gti-edition-35-new-front-tyres.html

and rolled up to 30k miles , which is 10k in 6 months of ownership! its getting used at least, just like the ED30 it proves how briliant these cars are as 'all-rounders' . I commute to work, have the odd b road blast, travel around the country and take stuff to the tip. being 5 doors its even easier too with 2 kids.
