8v badges - getting them made soon.

**tomstickland** · 06-06-2002 14:37

OK, you might be aware that I've been rambling on about having some 8v badges made for months now.

In the beginning was:

So I applied some Photoshop action to make:

Then I worked on it a bit with the help of a MIG poll or two.

I'm having some samples made up at the moment. They'll look a bit like this:

They're CNC Red transfer on Silver backing. Will take some photos when I pick up samples tonight.

I remember a few people saying that they fancied some. I'll get some idea of the price later today.

Tom - why arent you making a replica badge the right size? how come your doing the front one and putting it on the back?

**michael flatt** · 06-06-2002 17:37

wot would look the boll*cks on a 16v would be the 8v badges your makein with times 2 at the start e.g. 2x8V

seen it on a mk1 golf

**tomstickland** · 06-06-2002 19:12

The front one is 28mm high, the rear one is 21mm. So I'm having some 28mm ones made, will try it out with a GTE badge to see if it looks OK. If not I'm having some 21mm ones made for the back.

**v5uk** · 06-06-2002 22:49

i do like that tom, let me know how much for the back one will ya boss?? also post a pic of em when you get em done please.

**Pete R** · 06-06-2002 23:31

**Spankee** · 07-06-2002 00:51

Cool how about 8VT........ for Turbooooooooooooooooooo

**John** · 07-06-2002 01:12

Wouldn't mind some to keep in storage until i find a decent carbed 3 dr.

**tomstickland** · 07-06-2002 17:35

Here's some samples. They are different shades of Red.
The dark Red is a single layer, the light Red is White followed by Red. It does look better. However, very close up, it is apparent that the White is not 100% aligned with the Red. I'll judge them up against my car tommorrow morning.

Price - £2.00 each + p&p

I will be having two sizes made. 21mm height for the rear and 28mm height for the front.

**Tom Williams** · 07-06-2002 17:44

they look wicked mr s

good for the 8v drivers

**LEE69** · 07-06-2002 17:47

2 x 28 mm for me please.
shade top or 2nd down looks good.
is castle coombe ok for transaction?

**tomstickland** · 07-06-2002 18:07

Isn't your SRi the same colour as my GTE Lee? Flame Red? Because those photos might be deceiving you colour wise. I think no 3 down looks most close. It's certainly what I'm going for.

**LEE69** · 07-06-2002 18:14

ok tom i respect your judgement.
2 of 3rd down then please in 28 mm.

**tomstickland** · 07-06-2002 18:17

I'll take a photo tomorrow morning of the badges stuck on my new bonnet. Will give a better idea on the colours.

**Gander** · 07-06-2002 19:01

DUDE!
SWEEEET!!!

**Trevor** · 07-06-2002 21:12

Tom, can you put me down for a couple please, one for the front and one for the back, my car is white though, so colour for me would be the one closest to the original 16v stickers if that helps! If not, whatever you think chap!

**tomstickland** · 10-06-2002 23:33

OK paintshop man gave me an idea today:
for Red cars, just get the Silver bits on a transfer. Will try it to see.

**LEE69** · 11-06-2002 08:05

that sounds a smart idea,tom.

**Pete R** · 11-06-2002 10:18

Tom , Ill take 2x21mm ones too , can you bring them to the pod??

PM me cheers

**tomstickland** · 17-06-2002 13:22

OK sorted now.

I'm ready to take orders now.
There are two recommended sizes:
28mm match the front 16v sticker on Astra GTE
21mm match the rear 16v sticker on Astra GTE

If the car is Red then I recommend going for Silver outline. This comes on backing paper so you just peel off one layer, stick to car and then peel off the top layer. The Red is made by the Red paint showing through.

If the car isn't Red than I recommend getting Red stickers. These are Silver backing with Red infill.

If you want to order then post your requirements here. They're £2 each for all styles.

I can bring them to pod or post them for a small fee.

So:

There are four types on offer:
28mm Silver
21mm Silver
28mm Red
21mm Red

Order list:
Tom Stickland: 1 x 28mm Silver, 3 x 21mm Silver, will collect , cheque's in post Tom!

paste and add
