They're stuck on, put a flathead behind or use your finger and they unstick and come off

Is the honeycomb pattern different when you take the GTi badge off...?

No you only take the letters off, the plate of the badge stays in the grill

Remove the plate from the back of the grill, its on clips, easy. The plate isn't moulded into the the grill so its nice honeycombed if you choose to remove or re-badge it.

Not on mine it isn't - there's a cutout support structure behind the plate.

You have seen this on your car...? Not read on the internet nor seen it on a video?

From what I've seen on a video, you can't really take the whole badge off because it's not honeycombed as the rest of the grille...

Yes, I have personally removed the letters and the backing plate. There is a hole, with a supporting structure behind the plate - there is no continuation of the grill and no honeycomb.

Can anyone that got their GTi by now post your tracking order number so I can get an idea of what I'm looking for? Or send me a private message...?

I didn't get an order number from VW when I placed my order until about 5 days later when my salesman sent me a video update message with a number and details of how to track. Your retailer should be able to give you your order number to track?

This is Portugal... Which implies different ways of working things out.
I had to send the salesperson a link about "Follow My Car", because even though it's his job, he never heard about it. After a while I ordered the car, and then after a few days, he sent me the confirmation and no tracking link, neither order number. I've called the importer which told me to talk to the retailer. And so forth...

The retailer should give you the order number at least. You can then use that to use the Live chat from the VW website and ask for an update.
