£50 for a 100bhp+ upgrade isn't a bad price if you ask me

Le Audi S2 did make some awesome metal ones which were stunning - just a shame the enamel came out after a few months, and the production issues never seemed to get sorted... if we could get some replacements made that would be ideal!

Yeah unfortunately i've seen the same with le audi's badges, they don't last that long.

Not through a lack of trying.... Still working with the manufactures to find a solution..

At 1st we thought it was a contamination issue in the production, which the manufacturer then made a 2nd batch but we had the same issue... They are now saying it's the cleaning products that we use on the cars that are the problem...

Needless to say I've suggested that they are talking from their rears - we asked them to make a few samples from another type (harder) enamel which on testing just chipped when hit with a stone, so we are now waiting on them doing samples with a softer compound on a cast metal badge rather than a solid brass one...

Until these arrive and are tested I won't be selling any more due to the problems that have be mentioned above.

I went with this company by recommendation and by past badges that they have made for all types of firms and car/bike enthusiasts and it's sods law that mine are the only ones they have had issues with...

Sorry - but I am trying to get on top of the issues....

Let me also make this 100% clear....

I did not do these Badges to make a commercial gain out of them... A small profit would have been nice, but it was not the driving force behind the idea.

I did them with the intention of providing a better quality item that would last much longer than the original badge... The tooling costs alone were £500.00 and then I have to buy the badges at a £x price...

Most of the 1st batch I replaced FOC to members & I will also replace the 2nd batch, when we can get the production sorted with an item that meets my & your quality standards...

But this is very hard to achieve when I have a manufacturer who is refusing to accept any responsibility for their work standards and are trying to pass the buck...

hopefully you get it sorted ken. Thankyou for trying to sort the manufacturer of these out.

I've passed this thread on to my supplier - who will hopefully pass it on to the manufacturer and I live in hope it will prick their concussion if nothing else...

As you know the enamel on mine cracked as well and my car only sees about 2k mileage per year and is garaged as well. Only use zymol cleaner on my car, which is a top quality product. Looking forward to something better.

Ken, coincidentally I just sent you a PM before reading this, thanks for your efforts to sort the problem out. I wonder if it's just a matter of keying up the surface of the badge before applying the enamel?
