Does anybody on the list have one of these installed on their 88 or later van? I wouldn't mind one just because of the novelty value but would like to confirm the are definitely gonna fit properly in place of the existing badge. I ask because the T3 was never built by VW do Brasil so I am curious if it is actually designed for a T3...perhaps it was a badge size & design common to other VW models but I can't recall it.
