IMG_0527.JPG IMG_0528.JPG IMG_0529.JPG IMG_0531.JPG IMG_0532.JPG Having tried and failed to refurbish by GTi Cabriolet badges both by painting and masking and then by vinyl covering and cutting out I've got to say I was not happy with the end result. I finally discovered a firm in Sweden who I sent my badges to and they scanned and then laser cut out letters that cover the embossed part of the badge, they even went as far as using a silver brushed aluminium vinyl to match the existing badges. I sprayed my badges satin black and then overlayed the vinyl lettering over the badge and I've got to say I am really pleased with the result. The cost was quite high but still cheaper than buying new badges I had seen GOLF GTi used badges and in need of refurbishment on eBay for £100. The end result was I was able to get some additional vinyl badge letters and would like to offer them to other members and a fair price in an attempt to try and break even on my outlay.

The round VW badge from the boot in silver brushed aluminium £5
The word VOLKSWAGEN from the boot in silver brushed aluminium £8
The large GTI badge from the front grill in silver brushed aluminium £8
The GOLF GTI badge from the boot in silver brushed aluminium or GOLF in silver and the GTI in red which was my choice £10

All prices include first class postage, and just to confirm you are purchasing the vinyl letters as describe not the badges you will have to prep and paint your own badges. The badges in questions are from my 1990 MK1 Golf GTI Cabriolet.

Those look really goof,  what's the babe if the company you got them from because I am looking to get mine refurbed? Also, did you spray lacquer over the badges?
