The boot badge on my GT is curved, I can't imagine it would be different on the GTi.......

I'm pretty sure only the very early GTIs had the curved badges. Mine is a 2006 and it has the bevelled badge.

Pre 2006 the rear badge was curved and smooth, it suffered from White worm. Because of that they changed the design to the 'embossed' version, but it still has a curve to it.

Are you a boot badge horder?   :signLOL:

I see what you mean by 'embossed' now, the old style is completely flat, with no relief.

No... I've just had cars with both so i know about the issues with them. The older one also has a more satisfyingly 'damped' action than the new version.

This guy needs shooting really, 'cos these don't fit any golf that I know of, at least not on his list, and he must know it. He puts a disclaimer there, but I don't expect many people take much notice as it lists cars from 2003 0n to 2008. His badges have a flat back, at least the one I got from him does. AFAIK all GTI's and therefore probably all other VW's of this vintage have a domed back.
Spend your money elsewhere. :happy2:
