GTI-ROSS, In defence of the OP - and I can say this as I created his handle - you seem not to appreciate how much things cost.

The price for his complete handle included delivery as well as the vinyl wrap and time it took me to wrap the standard silver badge. 3D handles  still sell for about £45 on their own, so it is not much extra I charge for the wrapping and delivery, which Irish-ram and lots of other members would agree with!

He has created a genuine thread to help people, so don't criticise. If you don't like the look then each to their own, but he does.

 I used to own a TR and have created a red backed version for someone in the past, like below, so if you would like a bit if red vinyl to cut and stick between the badge then I may have a bit left you are welcome to have - but if you like the black on black then keep it - recommend washing the car though  :grin:




Heyup, I had a few looks at my badge today and the other topic you posted and I am going against the grain and sticking with mine but thanks for the offer of the red vinyl. It does look nice with the red but I think I like mine with the all black clean look. I must be  :rolleye:

You must be reading my mind as looking at a pair of black monza reps just posted in the for sale section but not sure how they will look on my car as was going to get some silver ones. Or were you joking when said get some black wheels  :ashamed:

Irish_Rum, He was being serious about black wheels, it looks good on red cars. But i would advise Monza reps, they weight a ton. If you have £54 for a badge you must have enough money to buy genuine ones  :wink:

Now I will take that as banter GTI-Ross but a very low blow  :confused:

I thought Monza Reps were heavier as not the real deal but i do not know much. Are you saying you wouldn't or would advise the monza reps?.

The guy who is selling them on here they are Grey Gun Metal by the looks of it but good for the price.

Also you still got my name wrong  :surprised:

Red car, grey wheels, black badges....that sounds mint   :P

and also, I was saying genuine Monza are quite heavy to start with, the reps are even heavier. 0-60 will suffer and also MPG over the year.
