I am re-badging a previousely de-badged '05 Golf. Can anybody get me some measurements from the glass down to the top left corner of the T and from the centerline of VW emblem to the same top left corner of the T?

Also, would a BORA emblem be period correct for the '05? If so, I have yet to find a source for it. I got the TDI emblem from fleabay but did not see the BORA.

Bora would be period-correct for a MkIV 2005 (not 2005.5) Sedan (Jetta) chassis, however not for a hatchback chassis.

My mistake, did the '05 golf carry a different designation in europe?

Are you sure that's a Mk V Golf? North America got a Mk V Rabbit (no TDI versions). 05 TDI Golf would be a Mk IV.

Hmmmm.........lemme check....
'05 Golf TDI mfg date 11/04 in Brazil
Guess I thought it was a MKV because I have seen others on here described that way, and the front end is nothing like my '00 Jetta TDI, which is a MKIV. Either way, my new TDI emblem should be in any day, Just thought I would get it right the first time........... don't want to mis-represent!!
