Badges

Post by **thegamwellsmythes** » 02 Jan 2007, 12:58

We are having quite a bit of work done to the bodywork of our 1985 T25 and would like to replace the "volkswagen" and "camping" badges on the back.

I haven't tried anywhere yet but can anyone suggest the best place to start looking?

breakers will be your best bet. VW may well have the VW badges but for the camping one you'll need to get one used IMHO

Have a look on fleabay. There is a seller called 'lovedabus'. He has had both badges up for auction in the past. Don't think he has any at the mo' but may be worth asking a question. Looks like he deals with imported spares/parts. I have bought from him with no probs.
Good luck.

Thanks for the advice I'll try that bloke on ebay.

Our badges aren't too bad but we'd like some nice shiny ones if we are going to spend money making the rest of the bus look lovely.

VW sell very shiny ones..

..make sure you also order the plastic grommets that press into the holes in your tailgate. The main VW badge also has a special single-use sealing washer that retains the badge and prevents water coming in.

I'll try VW as well.

I'm sure they'll do the "volkswagen" badge, it's the "camping" badge I'm not so sure about but I'll ask anyway.

You could just replace the camping badge with a transporter or caravelle badge if you cant get another camping badge.

Good point ever so well made.

If you're a tight git like me you can always re-paint the lettering in a fetching shade of silver.

was the 'camping' badge for a specific model/conversion?
