Red Badges

I was thinking of getting the new red badges to put on my GP.

Is it best to get them off ebay - and how much are they likely to cost?

Just i've seen numerous different prices ranging from £8 to £60!

Re: Red Badges

I bought mine new from Fiat and they cost £35. Had to get them from Gray's in Warwick though because noone else had them.

Re: Red Badges

I have seen good prices at dealers, i would get them from there rather than ebay. Note that you cant change the steering wheel badge, only front back and wheels.

Off topic, richc is grays your usual dealer. I use them. What do you think?

Re: Red Badges

well firstly the kit doesnt come with one, secondly you cant remove it, you would have to replace the whole airbag cover i think. luckily my car came with them

no all good, when i had a question about my car the guy in parts went away, did some research and got back to me 2 days later. Also had my rear window done there and all was ok. Also have got some parts from them and no hitches there. I noticed they do have some red badges, when i went in last week that is
