Was ordering some bits from VW so I though I would get myself another badge to play with ...

£10 badge + £6 matt paint + £4 laquer + couple of hours on and off =



One thing I did notice is the back plastic bit the chrome clips to is black on the new badge but was an grey/black on the original one - needless to say I put the black one it as my car is black!

I also managed to remove my original too so I painted this as a backup  :smiley:

get yourselves a group buy on a carbon one, they look the dogs. i know painted is much cheaper, but catch carbon in the sunlight and it looks really good. if you like a black badge its the only one to have eh redrobin. really good value as well at about £120 :rolleyes:. bought mine after too much red wine :tongue: but well pleased with it. the weight saving really helps performance :grin: i have to believe this to justify the scary price.( hope the wife doesn't get to read this, it'll be testicles for breakfast)

....Regarding the carbonfibre VW badges (front and rear), oemplus no longer supplies them but I think I've found another source if anyone is interested. I'll report when things seem more certain.

My 'spare' doesnt have laquer on it yet by the way, I put a coat on the one on the car.

I am tempted to have a word with a contact at a smart repairer who might be able to do a batch of these for me, I will call him Monday and see how much it will cost.
