Upon disassembling my front end to rebuild it ; I noticed there are two different style of snubbers on the horns. One is taller than the other and VW logo is different. I need to know which one is correct and if anyone has the match for sale;I want to buy it.

If one of them is the original one of your 50, it is not the one with the 9digit number.

I would go with the replacement one and chalk it up as a routine maintenance replacement part... I mean, it wouldn't have safe original tires or original oil... some newer, replacement parts are expected.
