I know alot of people are De-bading their cars, but i love the look of the 20th anniversary badges... so i picked some up. two sets of GTI's (for front and rear) and one rabbit for the rear. Now i gotta figure out how i'm gonna get the front GTI off the little bracket without having to take it completely off the grille.

Haha, I understand. It's jus the site says it's available as the front grille as well. But how would i order it, since theres only 1 version showing.

'This emblem came equipped on all Euro 25th anniversary GTI´s and all MK5 GTI´s. Also available as grill emblem.


VW OEM 25th anniversary GTI hatch emblem, chrome'

The letters i'm putting in the grill aren't the one's that said "front grill emblem"
These are what i ordered http://www.tmtuning.com/HOME/medienarchiv/bilder/3077_ep-171.jpg
i bought 1 set of the GTI and rabbit and 1 GTI only. i plan on taking off the front letters from the stock plate in the grill and putting them on that. hopefully everything goes well.
Should be on there tonight, probably post pics tomorrow.

sorry guys, believe me, i've seen pics of others with this set-up. so many people have thought of this. let me inform you of this though, since i just found out while putting them on, the red on these letters are not painted... THEY'RE DAMN STICKERS!!! this made me mad, but i got over it. also, these letters are a little smaller than stock, not a problem for the back, but because of the plate on the front is cut to fit the larger (but not by much) stocker letters you have to be a little careful with lining it up because there will be gaps on the ends. whereas the stock letters fit perfectly. i probably should have put a bigger gap between the rear GTI and the rabbit... but i can't now. i'll post pictures tomorrow when i get to my computer.

HaHaHa.....it's because you bought the replica badges that they aren't the same size. Eish buddy that sucks, especially considering the original VW items can be had for $50, you just need to shop around. Someone I know also bought the badges from TM Tuning only to find out exactly the same thing you did. I am able to source the originals for anyone interested.
