Okay, the latest is that regardless of meeting the previously required minimum quantity, Carbon Dynamics in USA via TTshop here will offer the same reduced unit cost.
To remind those interested:
FRONT (F):
The stock front badge consists of a plastic core and a bonded silver VW emblem which can't be separated.
To replace the whole with a CF one, pay £58 and send TTshop your stock one. Stock ones (cores) are needed for CF covering. OR keep your stock one and pay £29 extra.
REAR (R):
The stock rear assembly consists of a locking mechanism and a removable siver VW emblem.
You won't want to remove the whole lock unit and be without it, so very carefully remove the VW emblem without bending it and send to TTshop. It will cost you £58 to replace it with a carbon one.
So,
Front costs either £58 or £58+£16=£74
Rear costs £58
Front+Rear costs either£116 or £116+£16=£132
All costs include shipping and taxes, providing we can coordinate all the returnables to CarbonDynamics via TTshop in one shipping.
PLEASE NOTE: That final delivery may take time - Handmade manufacture and shipping are the main factors.
---------------
I'll be closing this list on Sunday evening 2nd November. I'll then confirm orders with each individually. Deposits etc will need to go direct to TTshop and I'll post details.

Absolutely definitely count me in.
I'll pay the £145 and keep my original badge thanks too :cool:
-
Count me in RR - I've got a huge list of mods just waiting to happen but my hands are tied at the moment because I am STILL trying to sort the insurance claim out after I was hit in April and I might be living in Qatar for a while come December/January :smiley:
-
The front silver embled can be seperated - bit fiddly and you have to be careful but it can be done.
I thought a new front complete badge was only around £12 ..?
Also a note for older cars - this is only if your rear badge is the newer style - not flush type.

....I'll check out how that price works in the morning, neg :smiley:

Moved Up here robin :wink:
-
Confirmed Robin - I think I'll now get a 'donor' badge at my dealers (Parts Mgr. is a chum) - so just the front CF badge for me - oh, and many thanks for all your efforts on this one :wink:
What's the next step?
BTW, Golf GTi Grille Badge = V1T0 853 601 AF DY T110 = £12.26 + vat
(Edited to include OE Badge details)
-
Im still in for both Robin, but again will supply a new badge from the stealers. And yes I agree with Neg that the front can definitely be seperated as I did this to mine for painting :wink:
Oh and thanks for doing this Robin as you already have yours :wink: Most appreciated :smiley:
-

Are you keeping this for posterity to remind yourself what oem was like once :evil:

....
I've just called the TTshop and Justin, who knows all the details, is away til Monday but I'll pre-empt with an email querying the £29 front badge question.
Personally I think it would be much easier to buy an extra £12 VW front badge here and send it via TTshop for carbon wrapping, and then, one day when you sell your VW you can swop the badge back and keep the carbon one as a VeeDub momento.
When this list seems to look settled in the next couple of weeks, I'll post what (returnable) deposit should be sent TTshop and address details for any parts. I'll also contact Charles at CD direct to double check details.
P.S.- Thanks for making this a Sticky without being asked :afro:
-
So were talking having the compete removable section wrapped not just the silver emblem?
I managed to break one of the clips when removing my original so I think I'll be up for this and will supply a new one also.
-
Definitely count me in for both front and rear badges.
I'd like to keep my original silver ones though therefore I am willing to pay extra.

Rest assured that if charges can be made less, they will be.

....What's silver becomes carbon (hope that makes sense).

....I'm not sure whether you want both F & R, or only F, or only R. I'll add your name when you clarify - Thanks, mate :afro:
-
Whoops - just front as I have the smoothed rear badge so I expect to replace with the newer style would be quite expensive. + I like the smoothed one :smiley:
-
Thanks for putting in the time and effort for us all RR :cool: :kiss:
Once the rear badge comes off I'll be painting the background section reflex silver to match the car colour :wink:
White background to the rear Carbon fibre badge on a white car would look the nuts :drool:
-
Good work RR. :cool:
Can I just get something cleared up regarding the rear badge? That is you have to supply the rear chrome plastic piece as the replacement from the VW dealers is only available with the whole lock mechanism?
My understanding is it's only the front that is available at a reasonable price so that it is practical to purchase a new one rather than suppling the existing?
Also will TT shop / Carbon Dynamics accept badges that have been painted?
Thanks,
Steve

I had a very very quick word with Justin this morning before going off to Cardiff for the day - He hadn't read my email yet so I left him with the info it was now urgent.
Tomorrow I'm off early to JKM Portsmouth and then up towards London visiting friends, so another long day out driving :sad: :grin: :laugh:

Cheers Robin :cool:
Be safe :smiley:

Hi all, I'm new to this forum but would I be able to join in the group buy?
I live in Jersey in the Channel Islands (its still part of the UK), would that be a problem?
If anyone thinks thats a problem I'll try speaking to TTShop direct and see if they can get parts to me over here!
Thanks all
Andy

Welcome Andy. :smiley:
There should be no reason why you can't get in on this group buy so just put your name on the list and see if RR pulls it off.
-
Thanks Bacillus,
RR, I'd like the front and the rear please, and I'd rather pay the extra and not supply a silver badge. I'm a little unsure about the rear badge however, I've got an '05 gti and the rear badge looks the same as the pic on the Carbon Dynamics website (I wasn't aware that there was a different design of rear as indicated in an earlier post?)
Thanks

....Shouldn't be a problem shipping to Jersey within the costs already given but I'll double check tomorrow - also the question about rear badge.
I'll then add your name to the list in the first post accordingly.
:afro:
-
Great, thank you!! :smiley:
-
....
Some answers to the quezzies : -
- Shipping to Jersey included as same as to mainland UK.
- Stock VW Front badge price - Was stated as £29 because it is the cost in the USA. Cost in UK is £14.68 (incl vat) so new price will be £16 to cover shipping UK>USA. Otherwise, please supply your own Front badge to TTshop in due course.
- Carbon wrapping a painted VW badge is no problem.
- The smooth low-relief Rear badges aren't suitable for carbon wrapping (as Charles/CD already pointed out).
- It isn't a good idea to send the whole Rear lock mechansim to USA via TTshop because of the significant weight and shipping such weight has not been allowed for. So please carefully remove rear logo component.
HTH. We are nearly there!!
:afro:
-
Many thanks for leading on this Robin - we owe you :wink:
-
In view of the fall of the pound vs US dollar, I wonder if these prices will have to go up...

....My pleasure, mate :afro: - It feels good to be able to help others out (even if very frustrating at times!!) - We all try and help each other. The aim is always to achieve a Win-Win situation where no-one is screwing someone else. TTshop make a small profit but it leads to additional business, the original maker Carbon Dynamics survives to offer more, we get a cool product. The people I resent are the Customs tax grabbers who do feck all for their gain and also delay everything, but you just have to accept it and "don't let the basstards grind you down" (as U2's Bono says).
Anyroadup, people are always helping me out and it's my way of giving back or passing it on.
Jeeze, I sometimes wonder what I'd get given if I had a nice female cleavage!! :shocked: :evil:
-

....I haven't asked but I expect that TTshop will do all they can to stick to their quoted prices. The normal practice on quotes is that they hold for 30 days. They are well aware that this isn't a cheap item and we have all the added costs of shipping to and from America - I know them personally well enough to know that they are just trying to be fair.
-
Red please put me down for a rear too......i'll feel left out otherwise! :undecided:

I'd like to get the CF badges and keep my old ones also, paying for two new badges.

:afro:
-

You can't buy just the rear emblem badge as VW doesn't sell it without the latch mechanism. You will have to use your own badge or one from scrap.

....Wherever the whole latch comes from, you will need to carefully remove the VW silver badge part.
And also it needs to be the higher relief version - I'll post a pic later but am under orders from my 17yo SWMBO daughter to cook dinner now!
-
Ok, no worries.
I know it's a raised version rear badge, late 06 car, so that's not a problem. I'll take a look tomorrow as to how to remove it, how do they come off by the way?
I might change to the front badge only - I'm not mechanically minded and am rather heavy handed and the last thing I want to do is break it..
-
I got the chrome piece off of the rear badge with no problem.
So a Front + Rear and replacement front..
Cheers.

I was wondering how to remove the rear badge so I asked my friend Google:

I'm going to have to pull out of this, as my other half has spotted the rear badge off of the car and is not happy. If I could get a replacement rear then she couldn't argue with it but as it is I can't do it.
Sorry.

....Concealed razor blades is the first thing that comes to mind but mine isn't removable without taking the car's whole front off!
Some people have reported that their front badges can be easily removed but mine couldn't. I would suggest a strong sealer at the back or adding something to stop it being able to twist.

Not a biggy, just wondering if I was the only one :huh: It would seem not :wink:

TTshop may be waiting to collect everyone's details before responding to all in one session. I don't know because it's more down to them rather than me now, but I'll phone them tomorrow to find out.
-
It might be my fault :embarassed: I was wondering about the badges today and just saw the sticky today - I normally ignore them completely. So I haven't sent my details but will do so right after this post - Nov 9th was the cut off date so I hope I can still get in :cry:

It's as I thought - TTshop has recieved emailed details from 7 so far and is waiting for the other 4 on the list before contacting you all.
So, will the 4 remaining please email TTshop urgently - Thanks.

Sent my e-mail straight after my previous post :wink: RR, I know its a bit of a bother but maybe you might try sending a PM round to everyone to catch the other stragglers.

I thought this worth mentioning,
Having got the rear badge from both Markymarks and mine in my grubby mitt's I can tell you they are different :shocked:
Basically there are a lot more prongs on the back of Marks than mine and as such it would not fit onto my handle as there are not enough hole's on it.
If someone were to get someone else's returned it may not fit :shocked:
Any suggestions Robin? :huh:

Are the part numbers at the rear of both emblems the same?

No, the one off my Edition30 is 3C5 827 469
And the one from an 06 GTI is 1K0 853 630
:huh:
-
Yup, my 06 GTi also has that 1K0 853 630 part number.
I wonder how the TTShop is going to handle this.
btw any chance of a side by side pic to show the differences?
-
I'll post one tomorrow :wink:
-
Maybe the TT Shop would be kind enough to mark the backs of them with a marker pen, as and when they recieve them, so they know whos is whos when they return them to us? I for one didn't know VW produced different ones and haven't marked mine! :s

^^^^
Yes, TTshop need to be informed which belongs to who.
Some time later..........These carbon badges are really nice but which one belongs to Noddy and which one to Big Ears?
-
My rear badge has a prt number of 1K0 853 630 too.
-
here is a picture of my rear badge. I have highlighted the attachment notches in Red and the Cyan highlight is where VW have removed a notch.

I've emailed TTshop this morning as follows:
Please check out what's posted on the forum : - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=95098.110 [page 12]
The stock badges (cores) you are being sent have differences and so each badge you receive needs marking so the same carbon covered one returns to its owner. Otherwise the final product the customer receives from you may not fit back on his car.
Cheers,
Robin

Just got this reply : -
"Hi Robin
If everyone can make sure that they include a covering letter in with
their badges so we can identify who's is who's and also write the
correct part number of their badge on the covering letter.
Also those that are not wanting to supply a badge I will need somehow
their chasis or even better the part number off their original.
Am I right in saying we are talking about the front badge?"
-
It's the rear emblems that were found to vary with the number and positioning of the rear clips.
Maybe the front ones also vary as well...
-
Fronts are the same.
Thanks for your time once again Robin :afro:

Is the bottom one from the ED30 as my 06 emblem is like your first pic.

It is pal yeh :afro:

I wonder why VW changed the spec as I would have thought for this particular application, more clips would be better.

And more awkward = more expensive to make and build, with a higher reject rate, etc etc. :wink:

Guys...this whole different badge thing could be a potential problem? My cars in Gib, im in Cardiff and i cant really think of how im gonna find the badge number? And no...I wont be supplying a badge just incase i dont like it :smiley:
-
^^^^
Manu - Phone Justin at TTshop and I'm sure he'll do all he can to help you 01234 855 555 or email him (you've already got his email addy).
Same goes for anyone else with a query or problem :afro:
-
Cheers Red! :cool:
-
I've phoned Justing this morning and he says that the people supplying their badges will obviously be fine with fitment. For those not supplying their badge he says he can only get the newer Edition 30 style badge. Neither of us knew for sure how many variations of the rear badge there are, but the Edition 30 one is already on revision D :shocked:
What Justin has said is that he is willing to supply the rear lock mechanism for those who have problems with re-fitting their badges and so everyone should eventually get a badge that fits :cool:
So don't worry guys :smiley:
-
What Justin has said is that he is willing to supply the rear lock mechanism for those who have problems with re-fitting their badges and so everyone should eventually get a badge that fits :cool:
Does that mean you will have to pay an additional £70 or so for the mechanism if the fitment is incorrect as I somehow doubt that the TTShop will absorb £70 for the rear lock mechanism on badges worth £58.
-
Justin said he'd be willing to sort something out between individuals. If you want to give him a bell yourself I'm sure he would let you know details. I think he is hoping that everything goes smoothly and no-one will need the mechanisms.
-
Just to clarify, are we all in agreement that its only the rear badges that vary and the fronts are the same regardless of age and GTI or ED30?
I was under the impression that we all had to supply the rears anyway because TT couldn't source just the 'chrome VW'? Therefore no one should be needing to get a new rear supplied anyway, thus avoiding any problems... assuming we all label them as our own! Or am I just in a confused mess? (Entirely possible!)
Andy
-
I said I wasn't supplying either :smiley:

JerseyAndy, it's best if you phone Justin direct and get your queries answered :afro: Straight from the horse's mouth etc.

They are similar to the MKV but they are convex a bit.

Unfortuately Chrissy, you've missed the group buy on here.
As bacillus says - carbondynamics are a good company to use.
Do a quick search, there have been a number of people on here that have explored other ways/companies of achieving the same result.

ouch just looked at the price,
:sad:
exchange rate aint 2 good either.
do ya think they are worth the price, do they make the car stand out a bit?

Your best bet is to urgently phone Justin at TTshop 01234 855 555. You can't buy direct from CarbonDynamics in the UK anyway AFAIK.

i would of left the center section of the hood carbon and not of painted it red but still i really like your car rr..

as ive noticed you had your standard monzas on ever since i saw your car.
ive just purchased some, after having 4 dif sets of rims i still think the mozas fit the gti the best.

TTshop are closed until New Year - 5th Jan. so, nothing will happen until then.

They look awesome, can't wait now!
Just so people don't think i'm being rude, i'm snow boarding until the 13th Jan so will be effectively incommunicado. I'll catch up with TT Shop and everyone else then.
Have a great New Year all!

Guys, sorry to sort of sound like an idiot! I have not been able to keep up with the forums for a good while now....TT Shop rang me and i paid them the deposit for the VW Badges, but i did not send in my badges as i was in Cardiff and the car back home....feel abit lost and would really appreciate if some one could help me with whats going on...by the way guys Happy New Year! :smiley:
-
Sounds like you will need to contact the TT shop directly about this but I suspect all you'll get is your deposit back unless you specified that your order included the purchase of the oem front and rear badges/emblems outright.
-
^^^^
Manu - Phone Justin 01234 855 555 on Monday (actually, try tomorrow Friday) - I know him well enough to say that if he can possibly help you, he will.

i know im impatient but i cant help it now i've seen them! :shocked: :drool:

I suspect the delay is now down to the badges clearing UK customs...
-
^^^ I think your right.
I spoke to Justin again today and he is going to get the tracking details from Carbon Dynamics to confirm exactly.
He assures me as soon as they arrive they will be calling everyone to collect the balance of the payment and will dispatch them same day where possible :smiley:
-
Hope we can get them before Feb. :drool:

Just had the TT shop phone me today as the badges have arrived, Balance was £188 for me for some reason - even after paying the deposit of £30!!
Que sera sera.
Just happy that I'll be getting the badges for the meet at the Pod :cool:

I sent my cores so balance was only £86! :smiley:

mine were £102 + £30 deposit. I also supplied both cores.

Arrived and fitted :grin:
£74 for front only AND I supplied the core - I suspect I need to query price with TT Shop - seems like a wide variation in what folks have paid?

I think I should have paid £116 instead of the £132 that they charged me as I supplied both the front and rear cores. Will call them tomorrow and find out, I'm sure it's just a clerical error.
-
Just rung Abi @ TT shop to query price - awaiting a call back from Justin.
Should be £57 as I supplied core - not £74!
Still no Calendar, though :rolleyes:
-
phoned TT shop and they are going to re-imburse me the £16 they overcharged me. Confusion over who sent the cores and who didn't.
