Make one. You'd need to get a single lamp grill, replace the red stripe with a a blue one, which you can either get from ebay or from your local motofactor. Then purchase an after market vw motorsport badge sold from various places.

However, there is a caveat, that unless you are packing more door, s/c'd, 16v, 4x4 power it'll be a bit naff, imho.  :undecided:

More doors rock.
Putting a Limited grill on a non Limited Golf'd be like putting M-tech badges on a 316 BMW, everyone knows it's not what it's badged to be. Better off going for your own style. Just my 2p mind you.

Course you could always justify it by nailing a supercharged 16v in the 'bay and worry about 4x4 later.... :grin:

The limited grill pretty much sucks anyway imo, only because its attached to a desirable Golf, gives it any visual value.... bit like sticking a Cosworth Escort rear wing on a base model :lipsrsealed:

Reckon you can go any colour you want, just don't try and pretend it's something it's not as per cosworth/M-tech references.

pin striping belongs on a car - not on clothes
so after seeing (golf 8v's) project thread, and how they sprayed the red stripe onto the grill, it looked awesome, and i always missed mine after spraying it body coloured. so a few p'shops later and i was here...

i've gotta say, i'm loving the red stripe round the grill, it looks pretty good, breaks up the 'all black' on my car (everything is colour coded!). i doubt i'd ever do yellow - just interesting to see how it mixes with the interior. after a pretty convincing vote of 'yes to red' from my golfgti boys and girls, i grabbed some pin striping tape from halfords and went to work, and 5 minutes later i was here...

the look is growing on me, so i'll see how it goes over the next few weeks - and if i like it, i'll spray it. but i have to say, the badass in me is tempted to do it blue - given most people don't have it because its of a limited version of the golf, but it does look good  :evil: we'll see...
