[QUOTE="Doris, post: 310160, member: 4049"] Hi Mark, Thanks for your comments.I agree that a solid metal badge would be more in keeping with a bus. The problem is that old chestnut - cost! Rikki James started a thread some time ago suggesting a brass badge similar to a porsche owners club badge but it never got off the ground. It was about £50 per badge - thats a lot of poppy for some people. Thats why I offered to arrange this cheaper version,yeah I know it looks cheaper but there is nothing else available.I recently had an original Institute of Advanced Motorists badge re chromed = £20. Can you imagine the cost of designing a club badge,having it converted to program,tooling a machine to produce it,have them chromed and polished then getting them out to everyone?! This thread is limping along at £30 a piece,the other metal badge thread went a similar way at £50. Mark, I whole heartedly agree that a chrome over brass badge would be the best & look superb but I honestly don't think people would pay what it would cost to get them produced mate.after all it would only be earlybayers interested, and not all of us at that.I'm not after any glory for arranging this, so if anyone knows of a place that may produce a limited run of metal badges feel free to chip in and we can see what the consensus is.thanks for the input Mark, I appreciate your ideas! ;) Kind Regards - Rob ( Doris ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
