Well, it's for sale where I live, but it ain't one of mine! It's been listed in a rather strange category. £60 at least! The marks will probably polish out with something like a headlight cleaner. They did on one of mine





Chad.

PS I wonder if it's **********? I bet it is!

Mine is on my car and thats where mine is staying.
I think its a lovely thing and I wouldnt take it off.

If ever I had to take it off id put it on here for the price I paid-seems only fair

What about these http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=121617298107
At that price think I'll be listing mine it'll help pay for the rear end refurb.

Back on thread.

There is plenty of manufacturers out there who can make these just need the to ahead from the club to organise something or for the club to do some searching for manufacturers.
Working on this - and its not that simple - considerable cost went into the design and manufacture of the original tooling/mould, and until I have exhausted every possibility of getting the mould I don't want to jump straight into getting another made ... the manufacturers also owe us badges that we have paid for and that have not been delivered

Perhaps I ought to put my badge up for sale on eBay to pay for the tooling!!

He says on the eBay ad:

the reason for sale is that I have modified the front mesh of my car and no longer think it suits the car.


And this thread would seem to confirm that

As both live in Sutton-in-Ashfield, I would say it's Mark2000cc who is selling the badge too, W44nty
