Mk5 Carbonfibre VW Badges - GroupBuy....

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.

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.

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

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:

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:
