please keep us posted on availability and cost please.

I fancy a duplicate badge to put on the dashboard on the aluminium trim above the glovebox if they are not too expensive

I remember them being expensive from the stealers. They are available, just do a search for the P/N.   :happy2:

On the subject there's a cheap Pirelli on Autotrader. Have a look at the boot - no badges at all and the shut lines are out. Must've had a shunt...

I've had my Pirelli for three weeks and when I first saw it, the rear badge was missing. The seller said that he had ordered from VW: it cost him £40 and he needed to provide the log book before they'd order one from Germany. Apparently.

Hope this helps mate?

I tried the dealer (Listers Nuneaton) twice:

1st time i got; duuuuh, that's not on our system.  :fighting2:
2nd time the guy emailed VW Germany as it is covered on an application note for special editions. He was going to call me when he got a response. I never heard from him again.

I emailed VW UK with the query. They said "Contact your local dealer"

In the end I bought a second hand one from markymark on here.  :happy2:

If it helps, the part number is......

1K0 853 675 AN

I still have one on order with my dealer, it's been on order for about 10 months now. I think being such a limited edition they have not bothered to make anymore badges yet. When I placed my order there were £36 ish

Been waiting for 2 years... Virtually given up hope of getting one so got very cherry to make a carbon vinyl which looks fine and at least no thieving bar steward has tried to steal it ....  :mad: If it ever turns up at the stealers I would not re-fit it to the boot but like earlier post maybe put it on strip passenger side dash but then they would probably break your window to get it ...! Ps I was quoted £60 for the replacement.

Was going to say, get some decals from VC's eBay site, that's what most peeps have done for decals for the trim and extra ones for the outside. I'm sure if you contact him via his eBay site he can make up some Pirelli decals on any coloured backing you want, such as chrome effect.

Here you go.....
