Does anyone know where I can get a GTI badge from with the red I? I've phoned the main dealer and they only got them in chrome, no good to me. It's got to be a GRILLE badge aswell, I can get the stick on ones no problem. Cheers guys

Try either eBay, or VAGparts mate. I think that VAGparts charge £8.80 inc. delivery? Could be cheaper on eBay, possibly!

What is the difference between the two, is it something to do with ARC and ARY engines ?

No difference at all matey, the vast majority of Polo GTis will have chrome GTi badges with a red 'i', regardless of spec or engine

Unfortuantely no, the all red came on the very early models of the Polo GTI and the dealers don't stock them anymore.
I once left a note on a Polo GTi with the all red GTI badging offering money for them but he contacted me and said that he was keeping them...bummer!

The review in a copy of Autocar I've got, from May 2000, features a red Polo GTi on a V plate with red GTi badges - all-red badges must have been only on the very earliest cars, so quite rare by all accounts!

You can get them from VW, unless they've now stopped doing them, I got one from them a while back.
