Holy Sh** S2 badge price

[Sonic]

I did them with the intention of providing a better quality item that would last much longer than the original badge...

Well i've got to say the quality of the badges was absolutely awesome, they look REALLY impressive and are a big upgrade on the OEM item IMO... just need to sort out the durability and they are a sure fire winner

I still have the rear badge that i bought from you, unused, and every time i look at it shining back at me it just looks quality. The badge is fine by the way, it's not fallen apart like the few i've used on the car (all front badges).

On the badges i just used shampoo and would apply a layer of wax over the badge, which i figured would protect it. Would is be possible for the manufacturing process to liquor the badges up or something to protect them?

I'm really gunning for this one to get back on track as the items are grade A and probably the best example of an OEM replacement that i've seen, so thanks for all your efforts

Thanks Sonic....

Your ENTHUSIASM will drive me on to try and find a solution to the problem... I was beginning to loose hope as I feel like I'm the only one who was trying to achieve my end goal, that along with selling my S2 - has made it harder....

The problem I have NOW with the manufacturer is that they are saying that the keyring's which have out sold the badges by 15-1 have not had any issues at all...

But as I say the keyring's don't have to go through the same cycles as the badges so it's not really a fair comparison. Also the Keyring's are about half the size - so their argument falls apart on this point.

Also they knew the badges were being designed to fit to a car and as a manufacturer who has provided numerous badges for bikes and cars in the past they must be aware of the damage and hammer that these items take when in daily use.... (Which most S2 & RS2's don't seem to have)!!

I will pass on your comments and your PM to see what they have to say....

But as you can imagine they are now dragging their feet...

Do you guys know something that I don't?

They weren't hard to find using Google, and he has quite a quantity available still

Assured by seller that these are genuine, and they have what seems to be a factory part number sticker on the reverse of each:

Nice find

Did think for a moment of buying the whole lot, and doing a spot of speculating, but hopefully forum members will buy them up quickly for their own needs before somebody else does the same thing and inflates the price

The rear ones are listed on VW Classic site @ 19.00 Euro's in the "Sale section"

Interesting. NLA on ETKA not so long ago; how long ago did they produce these?

Do they rate as official Audi parts, or reproductions?

They come up on fleabay quite often, one on now for £10 was gonna buy it but have stopped bidding
