Default Re: Karmann badge alternative

The one I got was kind of scruffy with the "chrome" lettering worn. I sanded it (the lettering) clean and painted it with silver paint. 70's vintage VW bug convertables also have a Karmann badge with a different shape. These are available as newly manufactured reproduction pieces.
Anyway, I like it and I just wanted to share the look. Best to all.
early Porsches, also have Karmann badges.
