an unexpected find...

[Gold-mk1]

went round to pick up my son earlier, and my girlfriends father ( a keen metal detecter ) seemed a bit pleased....he'd been scouting in a field ( miles from anywhere ) not only did he find a few old coins.....but best of all, he found this......

No, they're all plastic. My old silver Golf had a GL badge.

Somebody has debadged the hatch on a Golf L.
Golf badges aren't all plastic as this one proves ?
maybe the aliens have changed it

What do you mean?

Chroming??

This stimulates my scientific mind..... The "silvering" on the badges. What is it? It looks like chrome and if it is, this would attract a metal detector.

I think they were all ally up to a certain time, except for the GTI and Driver, which were always plastic.....so that'll be L, CL, GL, GLS, LS.

European market Golfs are the same as ours depending on options.

I wonder if the alloy badge is from a '75?
