Replacement Front VW Badge in Black
« on: July 01, 2009, 01:21:56 pm »
Iv'e searched and can't find anything on the Black VW badge for the front grille.
Anyone know where I can get one of these? Iv'e checked eBay and Awesome but found nothing. Or is it a case of getting the std one painted / wrapped?  :confused:

If you buy a replacement and send it to Alex @ Chameleon he will wrap it in vinyl for you. Cheaper than ordering one from TM Tuning!  :happy2:

Thanks guys  :happy2:

The US site seems to be the best option @ £20 ( $33 ) inc carriage.

Can't go wrong with that!  :happy2:

If it is genuine they can't be making much margin.  :chicken:

Doesn't say anywhere about it being genuine but at that price I'm really not that bothered  :wink:
There was an issue with UK DEBIT cards, so had to use a credit card, but otherwise, job done. We'll see how long it takes to get here.

I bought from Dubstop. It is straight replacement for the original shiny badge, but the black badge does not have as smooth surface as the original badge, and it is mat black, so it does not shine in any sense. Also, the dubstop badge is made in china, original one is made in spain (or turkey, I forgot which).  :smiley:

CF badge will look better, undoubtedly.

looks like this:



I can't be 100% but i think it had VW/VAG logo's on the back - fiited exactly as per the shiney one that came off, it was ever so slightly thiner tho. 

As you say for the money it's proper cheap  :wink:

I had the choice of shiny or matt finish. I chose matt as it matches the finish of the honeycombe grill. 6 months later it's still looking great and really finishes the front of the car
