16v grill badge
« on: 16 February 2004, 09:42 »
Over the weekend some Pikey retard decided to wrench my nice red 16v badge out of my grill, causing a nice scratch on the way.  This is very annoying.

Does anyone know how much these cost at VW and if they can be sourced anywhere else?

I know it's a bit trivial but i did quite like it.  And a new one will cover the scratch!!

Cheers Pimpster, thought VW would me more expensive.  I should be more optimistic!

Anyone know why not all 16v's have the 16v badge on the front? My car just has a Gti on the front grille, it has a small 16v badge on the rear. Doesn't bother me, prefer it that way I think, was just curious!

Thanks

At a guess i would say someone nicked the 16v badge from your car and it was replaced by a GTI badge.  I don't know whether they all came with a 16v badge as standard or you could choose from new.

Most of the valvers i've seen have the 16v on the front, but all the valvers I looked at when I bought this one (well 4 of them) had just GTi, wondered if it was cos they were all pre 1997 cars as most of the 16v Badges I have seen have been on P & R reg cars, but then I saw a P reg 16v yesterday in a car park with just Gti in the grille. Strange, nevermind!
