Asked the same question almost 18 months ago now:

There was also a picture some in this forum of a GTI with a Bluemotion grill (similar to the R but badgeless) but can't seem to find the link now.

Damm thought it would be clipped on, so will need to double side sticky them on?

Some models are they have a seperate mounting bar.

So if you want to remove the GTI badge (why?) you will need to double side sticky them on again.
