The badge in the active auction doesn't look the same as the one in the ended auction, not that you can see it properly! I am always suspicious about fuzzy photos on E-bay, the seller either has something to hide or can't be bothered to take a decent picture!!
But £29.50 for a badge insert!!! I hope it was genuine or the buyer will be very upset indeed!

That one did look genuine but it was a bit steep
The others look a bit ifey however if they are genuine they are a very good price.

Hi pab, yes it's lost a bit of 'paint' but it's not coming apart.

I was thinking about touching up the paint pab and then lacquering. Do you think it would work?

EDIT: Just checked again as it only came today, I have rubbed the backing paper and it is embossed to I would say they are genuine. On my last one genuine one I painted the edges with clear lacquer prior to fitting to stop peeling. It worked. Last edited by doublekite; 25th September 2009 at 21:03.. |
