Wow Andy, what a hike in price! My badges are the gold special edition (front and back), I paid £39.95 each only the beginning of last year! Had to wait a few weeks as they needed to get a reasonable batch size. How can they justify that sort of increase. Regards, Pete

I have no idea Pete, but thats the price according to the website. Everyone I have shown them to have been impressed by the quality. I am please with the result, so hopefully it was worth the money.

They do look good when new... However this was my rear one after two years of being on the car.



The front badge resin had already fallen off by this time and I picked off the back as it looked so pants frown

Hi Andy, mine were done almost two years ago now, still as perfect as the day I fitted them. I do ensure they are polished/detailed along with the car. If the car has a hard life in all weathers, left outside with frost etc and neglected, then they may deteriorate quickly. Look after them along with the car and they should lok great for years. Regards, Pete
