Mine was a funny off white as well mate at first,
like everyone else has encountered its a common wear thing.
When repainting your original one if you decide to do that make sure you give it a god few coats then laquer it as with the mk2's all the dirt and everything hits up the back so it will wear it quickly if unlaquered,
this is probablythe factor that causes the centre badge to wear so much id imagine also
