Default Karmann shields wanted

Several months ago I filled out the form at Karmann and kissed butt about how wonderful my Crossfire is and requested the decal package. Nothing.

All I want are the two shields.



Can anyone help? Thanks, James

You are not alone here! Karmann seem to have got fed up with our requests.... If anyone can help, I would be interested in a decal or those lovely little badges.

Have you tried e-mailing them? I emailed them back in November, didn't fill out any form and got my shields about a week before Christmas. I'd keep trying. Most people that I know only got a pair of badges anyway, unless someone is selling their car and has a set......
Good luck with your quest!

I have just sent off a further suitably grovelling e-mail to them. Worth a try!

I sent 4 emails to them before I received any badges.

Once the form has been filled out and you hit "send" you will get a response that the message was sent.
The first few times my screen went blank and I doubted the message actually sent those times.

I found out that my Pop up blocker software was interfering with the send action and once I disabled all pop up blocker software it sent and I got confirmation.

RESULT!!!

Five days after sending a grovelling letter (in German, thanks to Babelfish translation!), our postman came through the snow with a sticker, 2 shield badges and a IAA (Frankfurt Motor Show) tie pin!

I could not be more happy!
