....If it's done well with good quality CF, it certainly will be the bargain of the century!

i have pm'd the fella

....As everyone knows, I've already got mine both front and rear (I think I paid over 20 squid just in import taxes for the rear!!), but if I was buying now from this guy I would want to see a sample or, at the very least, good quality close-up photos (better than just snaps on a mobile phone).

Does this fella know exactly what the Mk5 badge is like to be able to quote £20?

im the fella from the previous post,

some quick replies,
No its not "top quality carbon fiber" its a WRAP, which is your OEM part covered in CF Material & Laquered to give a fully CF Effect (You wouldnt tell the difference without removing and seeing the back!)

And as for knowing the badge other than the curved face its no different to my mk3 badge. as long as its got holes from front to back to "loose" the lines in then yeah i could imagine it would be easily done.

Ive just ordered some more supplies todo my parts and with offcuts il do a badge and post a piccy up if it goes ok, if not hopefully my optimism wont be miss-judged i will refuse any business if i dont feel i can give a good job.
