The Mk6 boot handle has a raised metal VW emblem whereas the Mk5 handle is flat  :happy2:

There's an early mk5 one that is one piece and suffers from white worm, there's a later mk5 badge that is 2 piece and has a raised VW badge that is flat and clips onto the base and there's the mk6 which is 2 piece like the later mk5 but the VW badge is 3d rather than flat.
