The chrome is chipping away on my T350 badge at the rear.

Is this happening to anyone else's?

Is there anyway to fix or replace?

If so how much? and were from.

You need to get a new one. My sagaris is doing exactly the same thing. The part is back order at the factory along with quite a bit of stuff. Having said that I got a lot of bits and bobs replaced that were back order, a few choice words and everything magically arrived a week later all under warranty. They stripped it off an unsold car!!!

Good luck!

Ill ask. The badges I got in at the moment are only the name plate part of the badge, not the chrome surround. I will see if I can get some for you.

Happened on my first T350. I think the part was about £25 and a 5 minute job to attach. The plate has 2 threaded bolts which slides through holes in the bodywork attach nuts from inside

DJC,

I'd be interested in a replacement also if you can get your hands on one. Let me know if you can please.

Thanks,

Simon

Ive asked, waiting to hear back.

Ive a cpl of other bits n bobs in the goody box atm also (inc a gold V8 badge for some reason), oil temp and pressure sensors, lamba sensors, a cpl of clutches. If anybody else wants anything else let me know and Ill see what can be done. *dont* take business away from your dealers and official routes though please if you can help it, lets try not to get into trouble, other ppl with larger overheads than me have to try and stay in business.

Right. The bad news is that none are available. Nada, zip, nothing. The lads at the end of the line are currently boxing everything/anything up to go back into storage at the moment.

The good news is that we are looking at having something made which will replace them and wont have the plated chrome peeling off after a few months. Ive suffered this also, got mine replaced a few months ago, so I know how crappy they look with the chrome peeling off!
