Mk3 GTS raised lettering placement

Post by theunis.visser »

Hi. Not sure that this is the right place, but here goes.

I am busy buying a 96 GTS. The previous owner had the car sprayed before I bought it and the panel shop bunched all the raised letters on the right side under the rear light cluster.

Is there a measurement list or layout available somewhere that I can use to place the letters correctly?

I know that "Golf" is on the left and "GTS" on the right, but I need the placement.

I would appreciate any leads or advice.

Thanks in advance.

Find a parked one with the correct letter placement, take a ruler and take a pick with ruler to work out placing.

This is for the GTI badge but should hopefully give you an idea. (Download and zoom in)

Thanks Freezaburn. And the left side where the Golf name is? Is that similar. I thought the vertical lines on the lights somehow line up with the badges but looks like they don't.

The GOLF logo letter should be smack-bang-in-the middle of the 10mm x 220mm section underneath the light.

Are your letters each separated? I shall have a look and revert to you this evening...

Thanks so far.

Not sure as I only get the car this week. The panel shop stuck all the letters on the right side under the light cluster! :(

Both the OEM logos came as a "single piece", so I suspect that they may have used after market.
