an unexpected find...

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.

Probably?

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?
