Why not measure yours and then go measure someone elses and see?

Ok wait. Lets rephrase that:

Why dont you measure the badge on your GTI and then go find a polo and measure its badge? The dam polo's are everywhere lol

My VW guy is brillaint. I dont call the dealer. I just email the head techie who works there.
He replied and I just had to give him the year etc. i said your car was a 2007 model and the polo (courtesey of teh I.T guys who let me use his keys) is a 2006 model. I explained to him and he is looking it up.

i just went out and took the front off mine to get to the badge, which, jeez was well stuck on and still couldn get it off. so left it at risk of damaging something, neway i got the PN: "1T0 853 601"

Post by: SteveS on 24 October 2007, 12:57
eventually got through to the parts dept (useles fecks) cant give me part number... :-| but its £14.16

Post by: 08micsta on 24 October 2007, 13:03
Our dealers are useless but yours are horrific! How do they sell cars?  :shocked:
I emailed the parts guy at ours yesterday and he replied instantly with the dimensions etc for a fuel filler neck for Dinx.
And i must admit. He replied rather quickly about the badge. But he seems to be busy now cos I still not got a reply for the part numbers.

RedRobin you are gonna cost me a fortune! before Ive even got the car  :grin:

from http://oempl.us

Front = $135   (note its the badge only NOT the entire grille thats $350)

(http://oempl.us/images/MkV_Carbon_Emblem01.jpg)

Rear = $145 (but there is a huge microswitch surcharge $250 which I guess you couldnt avoid if from the US!)

(http://oempl.us/images/MkV_Emblem_Rear_CF.jpg)

Anyone fancy a group buy?

Is this the company you had yours from Red Robin?
Also I just noticed its another $25 if you don't return your old emblem!? So about £80, expensive but it does look the business  :drool: :drool:

....Haven't ordered a rear badge yet but got my front one from oempl.us. I'll wait and see if my friend can set up UK importing of oempl gear and a group buy before ordering.
