Aston Martin WEC Framed Badge Set

[Manwhoneverwas]

I would love to buy the set of framed badges that Aston have on their website, but at £3,750 just a bit too expensive for me.

I did bit of research and have commissioned the manufacture of a set of alternative badges, the first set was delivered this week and I got them framed up in a bespoke frame for myself.

I am so pleased with the results I am offering via my advert on Pistonheads classifieds the opportunity for you guys to buy a framed set.

The advertised price includes next day delivery by courier in the UK

Here is the framed set I got initially manufactured for myself

That is amazing mate How much would shipping to the US be?

[Manwhoneverwas]

I shall investigate the additional cost for shipping to the US and revert back to you Simon

Hi,
They look great!!
what are the badges made from?
When I had mine done i started with an origanal set and had them re enamelled

Are these the "gel" ones or something else?

Many thanks

Hi,
When I started looking into this I contacted the chap that re-enameled your badges, but he was very busy and it would have been May 2017 before he could deliver the first badges and since I was also looking for 9 badges the cost was also too expensive for my own personal requirement.
I then asked the Birmingham based Aston Martin OEM badge supplier if I could buy a set from them, but they could not supply to myself.
So I then contacted the firm that advertised the "Gel" badge (they only manufactured one of the 9 badges at this stage) and liaised with them first of all to get some trial badges manufactured, I was very satisfied with the quality of the samples and the ordered a set of 9 for myself.
At this stage I was only intending to get one set framed up for myself, but after seeing them framed up I thought other Aston Martin owners would like them as well.
The IPhone photos do not do the finished article full justice.

Thanks
Alan

That's a shame as I too would have loved a set for my wall. No doubt some numpty complained about copy right ste and put a downer on it all.

If that is the reason, it's hardly surprising nor unreasonable

No one has actually tried with success YET albeit I invite you to try if you would like to.

Sharing is caring after all these days and I have always willingly given and shared anything that was worth sharing and for FREE too weather that be my time or my last 1p.

Yes it is still horrible but Rich has done a great job pulling together a list of fixes and suggestions that we hope will be made together in the next update. Until then, there's not been much happening on there at all.

These are still on sale in the Dover Street store

Originals are also still available online according to the web site. Not surprised given their cost.
