vw badge (sorry!)
« on: 30 January 2008, 19:23 »
i emailed vwspeed about the vw front emblem as wanted to see their price and its not on their site. they told me they dont stock them, but on the website it says they can get everything pretty much so contact them..

i got this reply

"We can source them as we don't stock them.
On the parts database there are 3 different front VW emblems for the Mk5 Golf.
They all have the same colour code but none is designated as being for the GTI.
There is a Chrome / Anthracite one, one for GT and another for the R32. "

does it make sense to anyone? i thought the mk5s were the same? anyone got a partnumber for the gti front vw emblem so i can tell them!?

....That pic was taken a while ago and when the car was dirty. I simply noticed the nice lighting and took the pic anyway.

I bought a spare badge that I'm experimenting with. Gloss black didn't work to well as it was very shiny, worse than the chrome. So I have some Satin black which I am going to try this weekend.

....Satin Black should work quite well. The black badges on earlier Mk GTI's were more like satin finish. Also, the Mk5 R32 tail pipe trim is satin black.

There seems to be a tradition for black VW badges on GTI's but I don't know the history of this.

A guy named Franz Reimspiess and Nikolai Borg designed the stacked badge as we know it today, Reimspiess was also the man who refined the original Beetle engine, a car whose body construction was developed by Erwin Komenda. :wink:. Prior to this the Peoples Car logo was in fact the Swastika which the VW logo is said to mimic at certain rotational speed. (urban legend) The badge was originally found in a cog like design which was dropped along with the Swastika. A version with the Wolsfburg logo also existed around this time.

No idea about the black badge though  :grin: :grin:

Sorry for the history lesson, I'm a big Porsche (VW) fan.
