Same here mate carnt find any black Vw badges exept some on eBay
Sometimes which are £100+ lol not paying that.
-
Paint your current one gloss black or buy a used oem chrome and paint that
-
Should have one somewhere will have a look tonight!
-
They do crop up on ebay every now and then. This is one I was watching but recently ended: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161726749634?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Why not just paint your current one gloss black? I did that to mine :smiley:
-
Would be easy to get the current one gloss black :happy2:
-
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:
-
Nuts that is, £100+ !! :surprised:
Maybe plasti-dip them black then lacquer to make them gloss?
Should make them a bit more chip proof.
-
Cheers for the replys guys!
Dont wanna paint mine black incase i decide to swap it back haha
If anyone has one thats local to Berkshire il buy it off them and come pick it up! :)... not for £100 tho :laugh:

I bought one a few weeks back for my Eddy, it was a gloss black front badge with Red Inserts. i wil try and find the link where I bought it from
-
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:
-
Very strange how all the £8 ones dont exist anymore Ive bought 3 in the last 2 years but prices have shot up
-
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

Mine was only £10 of ebay
-
Im happy to paint badges gloss black, im 2k paint if anybodys intrested. Im a painter in a bodyshop,
-
How much would you charge per badge?
-
Looking at £10 a badge or could do a deal if you wanted a few doing. You would have to cover the cost of p&p there and back

I would take one at £10 I'm after a matt black one though and not gloss.

Sounds like a decent price... Would you do the back part too?

Can do matt black mate, but in all honestly a matt black aerosol can would do the job, i have matt black on mine at the min but going to spray it gloss black.

I can paint any badge or back in any colour u want I have my own body shop in West Yorkshire so u post I'll paint :happy2:
-
Whereabouts in West Yorkshire are you? I'm just on the outskirts of Bradford.
I'm considering getting my rear bumper valance sprayed, possibly the side skirts as well, how much would you charge?
Do you also do machine polishing?
Cheers
-
I can also do any colour you want aswell

I bought this one:

You have to trim a couple of tabs off the back then glue it in place:

The ebay listing States MK6. I'm guessing they are the same size as it looks to fit perfect.

Yeah, they're the same size but they have different tabs at the back so I trimmed a few of them with a Stanley knife then glued it in place.
