Default WTB Karmann badges

Hey everyone!

I found an old thread where members send polite thank you emails to Karmann in Germany and to show appreciation, they were sent Karmann decalls and those nice looking badges which can be put on our cars or just kept as a nice memory.
I would love to own badges and decal or either of those!
Unfortunately Karmann went through bankruptcy and so it's impossible to receive more of this "fan" package!
If anyone doesn't need theirs anymore or has a "spare" I would love to own one and put it to good use by attaching decals and badges to my vehicle!

Please let me know here or per private message!
Very much appreciated!

Nick

Is this the one that came in the package forum members received from Karmann or is it really just a sticker?

No, this is a bit larger but thinner.
The originals that I got are 1.74" high x 1.50 wide x .12 thick.
The blue on mine looks a bit darker as well, and silver in place of the yellow.

These are a reproduction of the originals. Originals were a little nicer with chrome lettering and edges and a little darker blue under poly.

I'm in for one of those kits if someone wants to sell. Will look good in my show display. Thanks

Thank you for posting the 3D decals, even though I like the originals a little better. I'm going to wait and see if one day I might be able to find one of those again somewhere!

I sent emails to Volkswagen (they took over Karmann's manufacturing plant in Osnabruck) as well as the MBtech Group (a subdivision of Daimler that supposedly still owns 60% of the majority stock in the old Karmann). Haven't heard anything back from either of these!
Also tried a nice letter to Mercedes Accessories because I figured these decals and badges might still be laying around on a shelf somewhere there but was told they could not help me! Oh well...
