Anyone purchased the ARZ Tuning 'chrome' Corrado badge?

[Leonard 0]

Quite expensive :gag:

 

Any good? Is it bright chrome all over compared to the std silver and black finish?

 

Thanks

i remember someone saying its more of a bright shiny chrome than a brushed alloy effect

 

what colour is your corrado?

 

i ended up just painting mine in black and quite pleased with it

Aqua blue thought the bright chrome front VW badge and rear Corrado badge would look quite pleasing on my fresh paint :grin:

Its just an older style Corrado badge that has been painted with some chrome paint, quite a good job but dont expect it to be made of chrome..

I disagree, although a smaller, brushed look badge would look better. This is worth getting, though ive always thought this badge takes over the front of the car a bit.

I agree too bright looked like cheap tat , took mine off and binned it , defo not worth the money IMO.

I think it looks ok, though on the large side imo

Oh apologies i thought we were talking about the grille badge. oops :tongue:

The grille one is just a stock VW item, not sure what it is from as they grind the VAG part number off the back of it.

And the VR6 grille badge is no longer available from the stealers either AFAIK.

The corrado one (brushed stain effect) is not but the shinny chrome one that ARZ provide is, I just dont know what the part number is.

i settled for black in the end, after trying to get a silver one at a fair price.

 

 

really pleased with the black, they don't really stand out on dark colour until you up close

So to sum up, neither the chrome / brushed-satin effect "Corrado" script rear (corresponds to the original VW part number 535853687GRU; ARZ Item #: ARZECH01), "VR6" rear (corresponds to the original VW part number 3A0853675Z10; ARZ Item #: xc1029) or the "VR6" grille badge (corresponds to the original VW part number 3A0853679BZ10; ARZ Item #: xc1030) are still available from the stealers, however, reproduction items are ALL available from ARZ-tuning here:
