Ooh I could be interested in a pair of those, how much for two in gold please?
I can't remember how much they were, will have a look tonight, also need to find out if they are here in Norway or the UK. Will be back in the UK on the 15th so can post out then, If I post from here you would have to pay import tax. I will PM you the price later tonight.The ones that Timja busted his balls to spec out, approve, have made and distribute were very well done and worth every penny.
I can't imagine though that he will be leaping at the opportunity to do it again
I'm sure he would forward all the relevant details to another hero to run with.

I have just a few badges left, 3 good large adhesive backed ones and then a mix of slight seconds.
I have got 1 adhesive backed chrome and 2 gold adhesive backed badges.
The only Chrome with lugs i have is one that seems to have a small production problem that is barely noticable (you have to be looking for it) hard to describe, but looks like a small bit of the chrome may come off...
I also have a few side badges in Chrome and Gold which the manufacturer put in bags before the lacquer was fully dried, so are not quite perfect. I was going to use a fine wet and dry paper and see if i could sand back and re-lacquer to make perfect but not got round to it. Happy to sell cheap if someone wants to try sorting. You have to be closer than 30cm to actually see them, but they were not perfect so i didn't advertise them before.
NB: I have had a couple of emails from people and i have offered these badges, so will give them a couple of days to reply first for 1st refusal, but let me know if you are interested.
I would be willing to arrange getting another batch made up, hopefully it should be easier this time now spec approved and it's a straight re-run!!
I spoke to the supplier a couple of weeks ago to get a quote as a couple of people had emailed me asking if i had any left or could get more made.
The minimum order qty for large badges (mix of lugs and adhesive backed) is 25, BUT due to small qty, the cost would end up being about £35 each with lugs, £26 adhesive back.
When getting 50 ordered (mix of lugs/adhesive), the costs would be about £29 with lugs, £24 adhesive backed.
For side badges, min order would be for 15 sets, cost would be just £2 higher than last year, for 30 sets, cost would be same as last year (£22 Chrome)
On all the prices above, Gold badges would be £1 extra.
So, really need a minimum order of 50 to make it worth getting another batch made up, otherwise for e.g. just getting 25 it would add nearly £10 to the cost for each badge compared to last year (although the price of metal and VAT has gone up in this time). Whilst i still think this would be great value at about £35 each (cheaper than a much simpler original!) the general consensus was that people didn't want to pay that much last time. If enough people are happy to pay more, then can get just 25 made.
So, if enough people express an interest I am happy to get more made, but don't want to commit to buying a batch with no definite buyers and get stuck with them all!, so i'd have to get a list of people and deposits/payment before ordering. Of course, if lots of people want one, the cost should come down a bit more too!
Hope that all makes sense! I will bring the few i have left up to Chatsworth House if anyone wants to have a look.
Prob worth sending me a message if anyone is interested, then if there are enough people interested i can send out details by email.
Cheers,
Tim

While looking for the side badges I found one of the large non lug ones with chrome surround with adhesive backing. Perfect condition never been out of the bubble wrap until last night. If someone wants it let mw know.
I have 3 sets of side badges "chrome" spare also the gold set may have already gone but if they don't get back to me these will be up for grabs too.

I was one of the people who bought one last year and love it. Hope the Germans dont mind them too much as we are doing a trip around Germany next month!
For such a small/affordable extra to the car it is suprising how often the badge gets noticed by people (especially after Chatsworth)
