i know it's from a VW

That's from a 2004 model VW Street Machine!

At that sixe it looks like a Beetle bonnet badge.

i have one here exactly the same that came off my 71 superbug

Hey i know what thats off, a vw hehehe:P

It could be the late T3 bonnet badge. What diameter?

looks like one i have whick is of a 72 super bug bonnet
does it have 3 pins on the back

My 68 Beetle has one that looks identical to that...

I think the type 3 badges were slightly smaller....

the early beetles had an aluminium badges smaller again...

Not sure about golfs etc...
