I've looked into this for my Ibis white B8 & on ebay every seller states the size they supplier is not suitable. I was thinking of possibly buying some stock badges through Audi & then sending them to a coach works place I know in Chessington. However, if they're an audi part available on the system I would be really keen to know......
It's all torque talk.

eBay. What did I expect? I want them like yours as yours look OEM. I think there should be a bigger gap between the S and 5 though.

The spacing is correct, I have an OEM (chrome) set in the garage with a stencil, all marry up right :beerchug:

Does appear different by a fraction, maybe yours is off :bigblink:

I'll still take that oil if you have found a posting method?

Valid point!

Sold the oil mate. The couriers I checked weren't one bit interested in the oil.

Do you have any idea how you got OEM style badges in black?

I was told by the supplying dealer (Audi Bradford) that they were specced when new. The front audi circles were also body colour (Suzuka) but I got them to replace them as I thought it looked too chavvy!

Have you tried a main dealer?

I wouldn't believe everything the salesman says though. I've read some shocking fairy tales stories about my old cars from the delaers selling them on. It's like estate agents, the lies just fall out of their mouth rather than say I don't know.

Agreed, but I've seen the aftermarket tat available on the net, what's on my car is top quality, main dealer or not it looks spot on and I'm happy with it :)

Maybe the bodyshop have sprayed OEM ones by request?

Might have been sprayed as the ones I got arent very good. I don't see them as specced. Certainly aren't in the brochure and if they were able to be specced I reckon a few more cars would have it.

It's a mystery just like my exhaust.
