Got my new badge for the engine cover on the Oval.Had 2 laser cut from 4mm aluminium and I hand finished to look like an original 1300 VW badge.Could only get close to the Original VW script type because no body had it in their computer-not a bad repo.Had it covered in 24carat gold.Will use double sided tape to hold it on.

That's brilliant
Wow! :o
What's in the Oval , a t4 motor?
Dan
Correct-103x82 Type 4.Just over 2.7lt I believe-Have a go at this.
maybe before you got it coated and polished you should have welded some studs on the back so that at least you could bolt it on??? lol... would hate to see them disappear off the car.
Yeah thought about it-bit hard with aluminium.Could have perhaps had it done with brass and silver soldered lugs on-but would have been real hard to finish it off.Theres lots of other things that could dissappear off the car as well-will have to always stay with it.Will be a real pain when I take it to car shows.
you'd hope people at car shows would have a little bit of respect though.. it's not like parking at safeway or anything.. yanno.. and that badge
looks damn sweet
mmmmmmmm nice looking motor!
Dan
and what a suprise , you managed to get a polished rim in the pic!
Dan
You know if you put it on with velcro you can take it off when you are going away from the car. Sort of like the removeable face from a car headunit! lol you wouldnt want to drive off with it on incase it blew off though.:P
Yes the polished wheels were on one of the VW's I bought a while back.The centre caps are missing,so can't find out what they are.They don't fit any other VW's I have and I had stud holes checked-5x130.I might put them in a Garage sale and see if I can get some offers-might be able to get rid of them.
well if they don't fit your car I''l give you $50 for them seeing the centre caps are missing and all, i showed first interest so they are MINE.
cheers

Thought that since I am changing the trans in my Oval- better get a new badge for the engine cover.Got it coated in gold to match the others.The car is still in getting the sunroof fitted and a paint job.Been in there for nearly 3 months and the hole still hasn't been cut in the roof yet.If they weren't the best in town I think I would have been pulling it out.The bloke thats doing the roof told me last week the Boss wants it out by Xmas-Hooray.Lets hope.Giving me more time on my auto conversion .
hrrm... Big motor, auto. I'm sensing a serious cruiser here
Thumbs up all the way, Full points on the badges, Certainly a nice touch with an artistic flare attached.
Keep us all posted. :thumb
Very nice.
Just been to try the badges on the car and the Boss has kept whole week commencing 13th December free to do mine.We'll see??????????????
