Unhappy

Ok,

Decided to replace the subaru boot badge (chrome letters) after getting bored with the debadged look and went to get a price from Graham Goode..... £55 plus postage . Bloody hell... it's only a fecking badge! Does anybody know where to get one cheaper from or got one they don't want?

Cheers,

Tony.

P.s Didn't really know which forum to put this in so went for General... sorry if it's the wrong place.

I've heard these are expensive, but since I got mine replaced under warranty (they fell off washing the car ) I don't know exactly how much. Have you tried a Dealer?

They charge £10 each for a wheel centre cap, so I'm not surprised they charge nearly as much per letter

There's been a few folk on here debadging recently. Maybe they'll help you out. Other option is a breakers like Grade-A.

Yep, id be interested. the only problem with second hand ones are getting the spacing etc just right. New ones come on a backing sheet already spaced correctly.

How much are second hand ones worth..... i was only expecting to pay £15 for new ones!!!
