16v B-pillar badges on ebay.de
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191567900820? ... 26_rdc%3D1

Would you really pay that much for a couple of badges?

Maybe these are something else that could be 3D printed.

I got a set of these that were a bit rough. A friend whose hobby is detailing painted them for me and the look better than new. If these were on the American VW vortex they would go for a packet as the American cars only had the grill and tailgate badge. The last four sets on Ebay have all sold for silly money, over a 100 euros. VW TAX. Crazy to think for the sake of two badges you could get a replacement engine or gearbox. 3D Printing, bring it on!!

HAHAHAHA
i love people who buy things like this because i get good funding for my project cars by unloading my crap like this to people who are willing to splash out on heavily scene taxed items.
no offense intended to the purists out there.
but most stuff like this gets fitted to the 1.3 and 1.5 wanna be gti 16v


I dont mind project cars but I HATE SANDING!!!

but that price is waaaaayyyyyy ott
made me laugh then and still does now.
