debadge blanking plate thingy
« on: 18 January 2012, 18:18 »
i might be getting a bora tomorrow. it already has a deabadge grill on it.
but there is the small cut out in the middle of the bonnet where the top of the vw badge used to be.
where do i get one of them bits of plastic that blanks that off to give the strait edge to the bonnet?

How much would that cost on average?

I would say around £150 to £250

depends on how handy you are with a welder ect.
if you can do all the work your self you could proberbly get your bonnet sprayed for ~£100-£150. if you were getting them to do it all as wayne said proberbly £150 - £250


as for the name of the plastic peice i think there just called bonnet fills/notch but not sure tbh
