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.
