As some of you know I am searching for a black turbo badge for my 993 to replace the GTS badge I have on at present. I can get a silver turbo badge no problem, but I think it wouldn’t go with the colour scheme of the car very well.

I spoke to the OPC in Leeds on Monday who said they could get one. Went this pm to pick it up and the young disinterested parts chap gave me the badge.....I said this is a 930 turbo badge, to which he replied 'Oh yes, it is'…….Farce.

Does anyone else have any ideas please? I spoke to himself Tha Dogg DeR who said you could get the 944 turbo badge in black, though am not sure if the script is the same? Are the badges from non OEM firms like Jasmine, etc, ok? Or do they look like a poor imitation?

I could get a silver badge and spray it black maybe?

With Best Regards


Martyn.


Another thing I found interesting; I walked into the OPC in Leeds this pm wearing my work gear (slacks, rigger boots, and company polo type shirt) and the girls on the reception desk looked at me like an alien and spoke to me like am imbecile. Quite odd and sad really.

Thanks very much for the replies.

Have spoken to the suppliers and they are investigating finding me a badge.

I got a black 930 turbo badge from the OPC yesterday, but it is too small and the script isn't quite right......so it will soon adorn the lawnmower!

Have a good weekend
