Back in the 1990s I owned what transpired to be a unicorn poop rare RHD 2 door Mk1 Jetta. 

Bored one day, I hacked up a couple of spare mk1 Golf badges I had lying around, along with the Jetta bootlid badge. When finished, my car proudly wore its GoGetta badge for the remainder of my ownership. It actually looked almost OEM too.

Good ones. 

My take is Volkswagen Borat and a modern Beetle is a Golf in a Frock.
