H i people. Just a quicky really. Would like to know where the best place is to get the abarth scorpion badge. I know ther are severall sites but want peoples opinions from where they got thers from, quality, durability, how theve lasted etc.

Many thanks for any replies guys n gals.
 
I originally bought replica badges from Ebay:
https://www.fiatforum.com/panda/238039-abarth-badges.html

However, the shields were not UV-stable and the red faded. The red inlay on the scorpion badge also began to flake off after the severe Winter.

With that in mind, go for genuine shields, which can also be bought from Ebay suppliers:



These are more expensive but the quality is far superior.

They're also legal - I suspect that the pirate copies are breaking Fiat's rights to the Abarth marque/badge/logo.
 
Many thanks people i think youve told me pretty much what i thought would be the case.
 
I remember the Strada Abarth 130TC had a really neat Abarth shield that was fixed to the grille, classy enamel job - they were available separately as I put one on that car's successor - a heavily tweaked Uno Turbo ie.
