hope this helps

Thanks for that. It's odd though that it does not sit flush on yours like it does on the later mk5's. I wonder if the boot lid itself changed at all as well as the badge mechanism. :confused:
Yours looks like mine does now, sitting out a couple of mm. I was going to replace mine with a new shape mech, but if it doesn't sit flush, then I wouldn't be gaining anything so I might as well leave mine as it is.
Cheers

I have an 05 GTI, and it had the older shape 1 piece badge, heard that mine was one of the last ones to have this, and that they changed 55 reg onwards.
Mine was a complete new mechanism, only took about 30 mins to fit, and looks so much better.
liver:
mine is a 55 plate and i had the old shaped badge
it took the same although the interior part put up a very good fight with removal lol
they make a big difference i think

Maybe yours was made 05, but not registered until 55? Have thought about carbon backing mine, though not sure, will probably just leave standard.
