spray you original one is the best bet! If you do a search you can find a guide on how best to do it, but its basicly sanding it down, primer and lots of coats of black spray paint.

The front badges are obsolete now so you won't be able to get one from vagparts.

The one you will have recieved will be for the mk4. Bryony is right, they are obsolete.

Your only option is to spray the original chrome one!

The MK4 Golf badge is the same size, although I think there is 2 different types

Front golf badges are a different fit to 6n2 polo.

Nope! The MK4 golf and the 6n2 polo are the same fit,
I had a 1.4 16V mk 4 golf before my polo and the badge is the same one,

That e-bay one looks as though it's just for the black bit, not the bit that clips in to the grille.

I have split a chrome badge before and the chrome bit is exactly the same as that.
