Why not just paint your current one gloss black? I did that to mine  :smiley:

Another paint it yourself here.
For the price of 2 cans of paint it's cheaper than buying,
I also painted the rear section red, (pinched idea from someone off here) but looks effective on a black car

Only problem with painting them yourself they chip very easily... Also see the front & rear badges on eBay for £100+ who in their right mind would pay that? :stupid:

Stage 1+ MK5 GTI R-Tech GONE

Nuts that is, £100+ !!  :surprised:

Maybe plasti-dip them black then lacquer to make them gloss?

Should make them a bit more chip proof.

just fitted one which i picked up from ebay for £20 from this guy:

looks exactly the same image as the ones selling for £100 (seriously hands up, who bought one of those?!  :confused:)

the listing has ended but might be worth sending the guy a message to see if he has anymore. great quality and it fits perfectly  :happy2:

previous to buying that one i did start on my old chrome badge.

managed to prep the front part quite nicely and it's ready for the gloss coat, sure with a few coats of that and lacquering that would last a while. the problem i had was with the larger back part which i struggled to apply etch primer to, thinking about it i should have dipped it with something like this to get it black
