but maybe a vw badge off a mk3 polo or something similar

the badge is actually bigger than the indent in the boot, i want something that will fit almost perfect in the indent...

any ideas?

Maybe get the hole filled then it won't really matter where you put the badge

id love to have a latch boot :D

cant afford to get it filled in at the moment, so a VW badge from somewhere something abit different and smaller would do the job nicely

Just colour code the background of the OEM one, you cant beat it!

nah...

that seems to be the common thing...

i want something different that wont be as big as the standard badge, but still want the OEM look

I've got the chrome metallic one off the new Beetle, they are £45 from VAG though. I got mine for £30. Ain't seen any other Mk5 with one 8)

Just realised how far left your GTi badge is Mouse!

It starts roughly where the "P" of Polo used to be. I'm gonna be replacing it soon with an anniversary GTI badge or might just keep it off altogether and leave my VW badge.

I want to get a smaller badge like the one in the first photo as well, I saw it at ultimate dubs and it looked well nice 8)
