Rings/Black RS6 badges

[Anth]

Hello all,
Quick one, cars in the body Shop on warranty claim shortly and figured was a good time to change the badges out with gloss black black all round (bar grill) Thing is all I can find is the Chinese cheap Ebay rubbish? I feel odd taking off OEM to put these badges on .. I did my Mrs merc 45AMG in them and they lasted 5 minutes . Can someone recomend a quality product or solution i.e. just painting the OEM when it's in possibly . Car gets washed a lot ! I couldn't handle flaky badges

I looked at all the options but found most of the black options were smaller and plastics rubbish. In the end I went down the route of buying new OEM and having them painted. Not cheap as they need to be properly rubbed down primed then painted.

Thank you Skirs6 ,

This is the option I have gone for body Shop said chrome can't be painted well so would need attention . I'll get them to order the OEM badges for rear and front will just paint .

All done .

What did you go for in the end? OEM painted?

Hi mate, yes so all changed out all to new OEM (apart front front rs6) all scribed and painted. Gloss and look great but they rough to touch, I guess something to do with the sanding of the chrome .

This is for sale, matte grey in a Prestige dealership in Yorkshire, nice car but this is what happens when your lazy on badges, incorrect size and incorrect spacing, would kill my ocd .

Is that the one at GC Motors?, I enquired about buying the wheels but got knocked back

I bought black rings front and rear, black badges front and rear from vag-Shop on eBay, they are spot on as far as I’m concerned

I’m after a short front plate and a short carrier of some sort for a 7 digit no.

GC Yeah nice garage had a couple of decent RRs from there . The badges a not even aligned correct or straight on that one small issue to correct I guess with new Ebay purchase. The none OEM size would bug me but eveyone has a acceptance level I guess ! For me cheap Ebay plastic doesn't go on a 100k + whip .

They are no worse quality than the Audi cheap plastic (except probably more expensive).
