760-853-689-E-DPJ Left V8 Fender Badge for 2019 Volkswagen Touareg

Earlier V8 Bezel Profile

Reference 760 853 689 E DPJ is associated with the left-fender V8 side marker listed for the 2019 Volkswagen Touareg. It represents the earlier E-suffix bezel profile and should be kept distinct from the later S-suffix design in warehouse records.

Bezel Thickness and Upper Edge

The retained photograph shows raised V8 characters above a black horizontal channel inside a long polished surround. Pay particular attention to bezel thickness, the extended lower point and the amount of bright material visible above the lettering.

Distinguishing the Earlier E-Suffix Bezel

The E-suffix V8 bezel has its own balance between the raised characters and surrounding bright frame. Review the upper rail thickness and the shorter transition into the point. Recording these visual differences beside the SKU is more reliable than labelling both E- and S-suffix versions simply as a Touareg V8 badge.

E-Suffix Profile Confirmation

Use the original marker as a physical gauge for the carrier opening. The straight upper edge, depth of the side return and direction of the tapered end provide a more reliable match than the V8 text, which also appears on other body versions.
