Replica Badges - Gone No More Left

After a fair bit of trial and error, I can now offer the badges in Silver. The silver coating on the badges is not a paint, it is actual powdered metallics cast into the plastic. They are a big improvement over the solid colours I showed beforehand.

Here is a pic of how they look:

The logo section is done in red using a high grade waterproof vinyl, and each will have a double sided adhesive tape on the rear to mount the badge. The type of tape is a special automotive grade, used for mounting side skirts, mirrors and bonnet scoops, so it will attach strongly to the grille without any problems.

They are a solid badge with very low weight, this type will suit the TG style grille only.

I can most likely make some for the TE type grille at a later stage, at the moment only the TG grille type will be available.

I can still offer them in colours other than Silver if people would prefer, below is a list of all colours available:

WHITE
BLUE
BLACK
CHERRY RED
GREY
GREEN
ORANGE
YELLOW

Price will be $30 each in silver, grey or white, or $35 if colours if other colours are requested.

I currently have 4 silver ones for sale, with more being done tomorrow.

Payment can be made by PayPal or Bank Deposit once the badges are finished and ready to be posted. Pre-payments are not required.

Lok just mentioned Kizza is doing some in chrome, so I am going to work out things with him, I have been working on these for over a month and didn't know about any of his plans to make them. Hence the reason this is a EOI for now until things are worked out

Mine wont be available in Chrome, but I'll give more details after I have spoken with him.

Get it chrome dipped then send it back to Virtual-R to get the logo vinyl re-inserted....

I'll take a TE badge when they are in production...

Or you can spray paint it silver lol I can supply without the vinyl stickers attached and in white instead of grey if anyone is looking to paint one.

For $30 I don't really think its breaking the bank too much, but I'm not forcing anyone to buy them, everyone is free to choose lol

Will have some photos up of them complete in a couple of days, once I have a few of the TG ones ready to go I'll work on making up the TE's

*edit* updated first post with new photo

Sorry guys I have been flat out with work lately and haven't had a chance to make any more badges up, working 7 days a week at the moment so haven't had a chance to get any done.

Unsure at this stage when more will be made however once I get time to do some I'll post here and let you guys know.

Thanks,

Roy.

These are extremely well made and , they are TE grill badges , same size as TG , only a few minor differences.

Well worth it for your TE or TG , remember , these are hard to get original , and i know roy and kizza are only making a limited amount , so jump on them while they're here , otherwise you'll be kicking yourself!!!!
