Well as you know im going to be painting a sharan rear badge and front vw badge this weekend/week :smiley: well my 'bluevision bulbs' havent arrived so hoping they will be here tomorrow :laugh: so called into dealers after work and halfrauds to
the list :
Mattblack paint
600 grit wet&dry
1200 grit wet&dry
1J0853601A041 x1 badge
7M3653630AFDY x1 badge
LLS0M6A7W x2 paint/laquer
well as suspected the front black vw badge is the later type and the dealer tells me that the older 30mm thicker type vw is no longer available :angry: so the choice is you have to use a later type grille to :angry: so thats my choice and as luck would have it they had 1 in stock :shocked: (first time i haven't had to order anything :grin:) so an additional part then 1J0853653CGRU
well decided after covering where im spraying that i may as well make a start tonight :wink:
so onto some pics :smiley: :

hello sam i wanted to order the earlier chrome(thicker)badge so could spray that while leaving original on and have a spare after but according to vw when i recieved my badge it was the later (thinner)5mm one which according to them requires a new grille :shocked: the badge for the front was satin black tbh looked shi** so prepped that and yep its going to be mattblack and the sharan rear badge is going to be mattblack to but colour coded inner :wink:
-
woah matt be pricey will look ACE tho :grin:
aye i thought that jonny :laugh: but yep hoping its going too look good :wink:
-
Ah cool that makes sense :grin:
How much was the sharan badge from the stealers mate, last one i saw on ebay was £20!
I've still got the old skool rear badge on the back but i'm not in any great rush to get rid at the moment, other things to be done!
Look forward to see the results, to be honest i'm not usually a fan of black badges, lke the chrome myself, but this sounds interesting so will wait to see the end result before passing an opinion :wink:

cheers :afro: the sharan badge was £14 there abouts inc vat :wink:
-
lol matt too much money
-
sorry to say but i think you got robbed there Matt :sad:
i bought a new grill the other month after my 'slight incident' and swapped my badge straight over :undecided: IIRC my badge is the thicker style :undecided:
should look good when its all fitted :cool:
-
lol i offered matt my grill. But he is mr impatianet lmao
-
yeah i bought one first of all but had the thicker badge, think i actually had it in my boot at Castle coombe last year lol then i got the right one of ebay for £20 but its looking good mate and will look safe once its on :cool:

looking at bit rhys i think your right i took the grille off yesterday to remove the bumper ,had a look while off and it looks like you could clip the thinner badge into the older type fitting :laugh: all the clips are in the exact position :rolleyes: to late now i have primed it and got two coats of reflex silver done :rolleyes:
hoping it will look good to rhys :afro:
