Post

Does anyone have a spare GTi grille badge? My cabby doesn't have one :puppyeyes:Condition not important, I can refurb/repair.

I believe you have the Mk1 Golf tin top grill fitted?
Cabriolet have a different design so have a different badge.

I think you need a badge like this for the tin top grill.

How do you know which grill it is?!

(also, was hoping not to spend £35 on a badge)

I've seen your post and picture of your car, it's a black car with a red line around the grill?

£35 is for a new genuine VW badge.

From 1988 ish when VW fitted the "clipper" body kit they changed the grill to a 5 slat style one with the same GTi  badge as fitted to Mk2 Golfs.

Early car with early grill.
