Subtle and classy, gets my vote

People are like this over the Clio Williams which was only made in a batch of 500 for the UK, the badge snobbery is amazing

Nice idea - I take it you bought a few of the new pieces of trim - how much were the Edition 30 embossed strips ?

Regards,

Gareth

Much better idea than multiple plaques IMHO.

Not really my business as I don't own one but just my 2p worth -

I'm surprised that the maker/supplier of these badges/tally's is willing to do so and I would think that if VWUK found out it wouldn't go down too well.

A an owner I wouldn't want ANY unauthorised copies of these in circulation as it leaves things open to abuse. 

I agree the suggested placement of them isn't good but I wouldn't have thought having multiple copies in circulation a good idea.

I can almost see them on eBay now  :innocent:

^^^ Stu it is a valid point.

But TBH the design is so basic it would be very easy for any one of a hundred companies to produce a copy.

If the small Group Buy on here goes ahead it will be to supply known owners only  :smiley:
