I don't want get into the fray of VW's trademark and copyright issues as (1) I know there are a lot of strong feelings on both sides of the fence, and (2) I don't know all of the facts in each case -- and each case is separate.
I do know from a legal standpoint, if VW knows something is offered for sale that would be a trademark or copyright infringement and they do nothing (i.e. cease and desist), they would have no recourse to do anything to anyone in the future. This is regardless if any are sold or not, much less if they are mass produced or not. (There is no legal definition of "mass produced" by the way.)
Why not offer individual letters and numbers in any style you like (hint, hint, hint) with adhesive backing. That way, someone could purchase VW 1303, VW 1302S, or as someone suggested, VW 1776, or even TYPE IV if someone wanted that. Certainly no case would be made in this instance.
Just an idea,
René
