My 1994 M-reg 16v has a GTi badge on the front with a red 16v badge on the rear, which is correct according to the pictures in the original VW sales brochure.
I think VW made the change in 1995/96.

The GTi badge looks much nicer on a 16v than the 16v badge itself in my opinion.

nooo!! the GTI badge is horrible! its too big..

look at the size of the 16v and vr6 ones in comparison, they both fit between the grillie slats...  why is the gti one so much bigger..?

I agree with overseer.  Also depends on the colour of the car.  Mine's Dragon Green so the red bits look ok, looks very nice on Black ones!  If it's purple or red then the GTi badge would be better, i think.

I dunno, I just think the GTI badge is more subtle, the screaming red 16V comes across almost a tad guach? and 80's. Still, whatever floats your boat I suppose, and I will admit the 16v badge does look good on black examples. I just wish VW had made the 16V decals more subtle, like the ones on the Mk2.
