No experience in the carbon wrapping area but i was wonderring if it is possible to get a carbon vw front and rear badge ?
I know there is some on e-bay carbon WRAPPED but i am thinking that due to the position on the car something that is just wrapped will get stone chipped in a matter of days exposing the chrome underneath.
Can you actually get a carbon version that is solid and not just wrapped in vinyl ?
Noob question i know but if i dont ask i wont learn,
I have also looked at OSIR but they dont advertise this sort of thing
Appreciate any help
Thanks

RR got his carbon emblems from Charles at Carbon Dynamics in the US. Not cheap though...

Vinyl is actually quite strong, Its just getting it perfectly flat on a curved area such as the edges of the front badge & the centre bit where it dips :laugh:

For those who didn't know, 'bacillus' is my Batman (a soldier assigned to a commissioned officer as a personal servant). That's why he knows even more than I do about my life :laugh:
So, he is right - They came from a Group Buy in another forum. I think that I had a hand in organising it but my Batman bacillus will know.
I do remember that I was given this by Charles to say Thank You...................

Carbon vinyl is actually more durable than you might think. So it is a real alternative.
