Replacement rear badge

[mattgtd]

Evening guys, I am after a new rear chimaera badge, but after a quick search the only ones I can find are around £120 with the vat.
Are there any others available does anybody know?
cheers.

Leven will refurbish one if you have it for £60

Yes I do, it's on the car but just not looking it's best, so that may be the way to go. Thanks.

My rear badge was refurbed by Leven, they do an absolute top job, but the turnaround time is about 3 weeks

Nice colour car too.

I've put this before but it's worth doing yourself for pence. The badge is already electroplated brass, so rub it all off first (from the bit you can see anyway)

Then you can spray it black. let it dry, and then rub off the paint to reveal the brass underneath. Then a few coats of varnish. I got the tip from off here.



By the way, it's not easy to get off. you have to pull back a large area of carpet and the retaining nuts are tricky to get to.

Cheapest solution is from ebay. I got one of these intending to refurb the original badge, but have not got round to it yet.
