Post by: Onge on 20 January 2004, 12:20

Can anyone assist?

I want to buy a standard Gti grill badge for my MK3 8V,
Where's the best place to order - i've looked on VW homepage but no Joy.

Thanks

you should be able to walk into your local dealers parts dept and get one.

i got my 16v grille badge that way. (i work next to a VW Dealership :D)

i did that mate. Didnt have a badge. went to main dealer. Cost ?6.50 or ?9.50. cant remember which. not expensive and just clips on. Also when its on it can slide in to the position you want (so dont spend half hour trying to get a still hand to put it in the right place as i did only for it to slide when attached).

Not worth mail ordering by the time you pay postage.

Probably the only time its cheaper to buy something at a main dealer than elsewhere!

It's well nice to drive - solid and plenty of torque.

The Subaru and Porsche are mates cars.

not sure about the mk3 16v glove box, i know that the mk2 16v has a badge on the grill and on the glove box.

I think you should have a grill badge though, you can get one from your local VW dealership, cost about ?7
