Golf Wolfsburg Edition

[andykram]

I was on the phone today to the local VW dealer trying to get some original bits for my new 16v which has a "Wolfsburg Edition" badge on the back and "Wolfsburg Edition" wing mirror adjusters. When I bought the car I just assumed these were just add ons that a previous owner had stuck on, thus my desire to put original parts back on. However, the geezer at the dealer there was a special edition Mk2 called a Wolfsburg Edition. I can't recall seeing anything about it and, even if there were, surely it must have amounted to more than just a couple of silver add ons like what I describe above.
So what is the truth? And if such a thing existed, how do I know if mine's a "WE" instead of a standard 16v?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but he just got me thinking. I'm pretty convinced mine is just a normal 16v. Doing a search suggests this WE thing is just an urban myth and I'm right to get original part stuck back on it?
