G60MAT 0 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) As Trimsport continues to grow, we are now looking into new badges to expand our range. We already have original G60 and VR6 grille badges that we are looking into reproducing with the correct clips on the back. Badges would be available in both Red and Silver painted finish as per the originals. Timescales and pricing are not confirmed yet but under £50. We would be interested to gauge interest below on these specific badges only. A forum "bulk" quantity would speed things up...

EJ Taylor 22 Posted June 16, 2015 £30 yes, £50 no. Rog. I had to re read this, i thought i was a badge and grill combination. But £50 for a badge? Pretty sure there's corrados going for less on ebay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted June 16, 2015 The grills are £53.00 from Heritage on their own . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted June 16, 2015 I had to re read this, i thought i was a badge and grill combination. But £50 for a badge? Pretty sure there's corrados going for less on ebay Having done my own research into this, it was going to cost me similar money to get the VR6 badge reproduced - and that was without putting any kind of profit on either and just doing it for forum members, not as a business. It's just very expensive doing this kind of reproduction work unfortunately. That and, if you want a "Corrado correct" VR6 grille badge, you aint got much choice! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted June 16, 2015 When I looked in to it , the manufacturers told me the clips add on a lot more money . If they were just flat and stuck on , you could do them at a reasonable cost . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted November 19, 2015 I believe it has, and iirc it was thought best to seek alternatives as the 3D plastic material they use is very brittle compared to most other plastics used for automotive trim, and the prongs/arms would likely snap the first time it was used to attach or remove it from the grille.

That sounds quite probable. Shame really, it might have been the most cost-effective answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManAtMachine 10 Posted November 19, 2015 I tried to bluff him into making some earlier and was going to look at getting a 3d print from somewhere. Oh dear Looks like I hijacked a post and ****ed him off for no reason :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60MAT 0 Posted November 19, 2015 We will be looking into a pre order on these and they are expensive to set up... give us a few days for a production update guys... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alfagtman 10 Posted November 26, 2015 Id like to have a set on standby as it seems they are a frequent item stolen from the cars. I am on the lookout for a complete set front and rear. Any ideas of what part number this front badge is for the early or later grille? 20219496 Also is there any method of brightening up the red paint - I saw it being done of the VR6 wheeler dealers. The red paint on mine is sort of faded. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
