£118 for a badge, are you insane? 

Not as insane as buying a bonnet, wing mirrors and rear lower spoiler in silver CF with one piece that may not even fit

[sunnylunn]

i shouldn't start looking at bling after i've had red wine- it is insane for a piece of carbon, but you know you want one! the weight saving should help with acceleration on this performance day we might be getting if any body wants one (you know you do) there's 2 left, just follow reds link.

....Not insane but merely obsessed!

You can apply that 'insane' logic to anything. £400 for a handbag!? £25,000 for a car!? £50 for a kitchen knife!? (I've just spent that on a Santoku Fluted Blade knife designed by Porsche and it's soooo well ergonomically designed and made.



Hurdy - I saw my first silver Ed30 today - Came through town in bright sunlight and looked seriously excellent! Those silvery grey alloys are perfect. I can see that silver carbonfibre will look exceptional!! - Five Star Cool!

[Hurdy]

Cheers RR. I'm hoping I'll get my hands on the CF soon

I know what you mean about kitchen knives too I'm a bit of a part time cheffie and love my kitchen gadgets

[sunnylunn]

I think you are missing the point, its just a badge, at least a £50 kitchen knife is useful, but a carbon fibre badge seems like a waste of money.

....Clearly a waste of your money, but it's not your money I'm spending.

You could argue that I'm wasting £50 on a kitchen knife - I already have a perfectly adequate kitchen knife (although it isn't fluted) but I don't need flutes, it's just a luxury!

I obviously don't have to justify my spending to you but.....As I already have "wasted" my money on a carbonfibre mask, it suits the aesthetics of the front better to also match it with a CF VW badge. I have also already "wasted" money on performance mods as well as cosmetic. Are you someone who thinks that anything cosmetic is a waste of money? Are you an accountant? - Actually even my accountant doesn't think like you! He's the sort of guy who has taken me to Geneva just for lunch! What a waste of money!

[2007GTI]

You dont have to get personal, and no im not an accountant, far from it, also I wasn't talking to you (Red) in the first place anyway, I was talking to the original poster sunnylunn.

performance mods are great, thats my point, use the money for stuff that makes the car go better, not make it look like its owned by a chav.

[sunnylunn]

dont really think the addition of a carbonfibre badge would mean i was a chav, its down to personel choice. one mans meat is anothers mutton and all that (does that sound chavvy) next time i want to buy something for my car i'll ask if its chav or not.
