Black VW Front Grille Badge
« on: 23 September 2009, 07:26 »
Does anyone know where (in the UK) i can get a black VW front badge?

I know people have bought sliver ones and painted them black but im far too lazy for that and i dont have paypal so eBay is a no go.

If Parts4Europe claim that what they sell is OEM, why cant we get them from the main dealers?

Is 1T0 853 601A a VW part number?

Cheers

Try here as others on a different UK forum did and were pleased with the product.

My local VAG garage who did the body repair after my minor front end "bump" did mine for me, just painted it. Might pay to have a word with a local place to see if they want to do it if your not confident enough to paint it ?

On the website is says

'Fits all VW Golf MK5 vehicles - 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 (only newer 2005 body)'

I have an 05 GTi so does that mean the badge is different and that this one wont fit?

The front VW badge/emblem for all the Mk5 GTi year models is the same.
