I have found somebody to laser cut and polish some alloy badges
"california" and "Spider"
I bought a genuine California badge but they only make them for the glove box so are too small at only 8cm wide.
The California badge will be approx 20cm wide so is idea for mounting above the number plate and the spider badge to the side in the corner.
Quote for one pair is £150 but an awful lot of that is set up costs so if I order more the cost should come down considerably, the more ordered the better the price.
Any discerning 250 convertible owners interested? If I can get a rough idea of numbers I can firm up the price.
That sounds very expensive . I had some brackets made in 5mm stainless at my local laser cutter. I simply sent them the file they could down load into their system. The extra cost might be to hand polish them but that's something you can easily do yourself.
Not cheap but I want the lettering as thin as possible, some b badges look as if they were designed to be welded on the stern of a battleship. It does include lacquering and polishing. Hopefully the unit cost will come down a lot with a larger run, just waiting for some more prices.
Ok , fair enough if it includes finishing. Once set up they should be able to bang out a larger batch in a few minutes. I'm sure most people would be happy to finish them off . If they make them in 316 they won't need coating either.
