Hi Tony,

Took you a while, but looks like you where right to take your time and get the right car  :happy2:

Part number for the rear badge is 1K0 853 675 BJ, not sure on price, but shouldn't be to expensive

Has the previous owner changed the grill lipstick? looks white in the picture?

Enjoy  :driver:

Handy guide for locating your new badge  :happy2:

Yes this was advertised for a long time, i thought about it but it was too far away for me.
White is the best colour

White like mine :)

I'm contemplating going for the Monza 2's for mine.

You should consider getting blinds for yours so they look tinted like did on mine this weekend > http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,67391.0.html

Stunning car  :happy2: I also seen this on autotrader and had a appointment to go veiw it, until they made this bull story up (most likely) about a mix up with his business partner over appointments and they also stuck another grand on it so i just left it, all this after i took a day off work to go veiw it ha wasnt happy. Like you I've been looking for months coming home from work and just praying there is a shining white gti for sale with my spec :laugh: 

Any plans for the motor?
