GTI to GTD Grille Conversion

I have a GTI grille I am looking into converting into a GTD grille; I believe 5K0853679739 is the part number for the emblem replacement and for the silver stripes I was going to use vinyl IE: http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-x-60-20cmx150cm-Silver-Chrome-Wrapping-Vinyl-Vinyl-Film-for-car-/120923944148?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c27a0f4d4&vxp=mtr#ht_5961wt_1195

Emblem shipped if correct part: 32.77$
Chrome vinyl: 10$

Looking for some input to verify part before I order

Tdi grill

Or you could do what I did. GTI Grill with TDI badge.

Should work. I did an actual GTD grille on mine and think the car looks great with it.

Sorry, I knew it was OEM (was trying to buy it already on the car when I purchased); just looking for a good price on it. thanks though!

I ended up ordering:
It will end up looking similar to this but TDI:

And if I don't like that plastidip all red black lol

where did you get the GTD grills upper and lower

The upper grill is a GTD grill. A friend from Wolfsberg shipped it to me. The lower is just a Golf Highline grill. The real GTD uses a GTI bumper assembly.
