VW black badges
- Thread starter Kev23
- Start date
It's all a bit hit and miss I think, I bought quite an expensive one from one of the popular internet shops and within a year out in the weather it looked like I'd tried to set fire to it, all brown and weird looking.
Second one I bought off some tuning like shop on eBay and it seems to keep its glossy black finish a bit better so far but took a bit of effort to get all the tabs to click in place when fitting it.
I also think a gloss black badge with gloss black backing plate thing looks horrible so I wrapped the backing in matt black, maybe that's why the tabs didn't want to click in place as easy.

VW Replacement Front Rear Matte Black Badge Set - VW T6 T6.1 - Vanstyle
Got mine here. Been on three years plus with no issues. Not faded or cracked.
HTH
Edit to say FWIW I think these look OEM quality which I think is the main crux of your posted question. Agree, some out there do look a bit ‘Heath Robinson’ but certainly these (at least if they’re the same as I bought three years ago) should be pucker.
