Badging is not cheap! :(

[li21]

Hi all,

I was just quoted by slimcraige for OPEL badges for my Astra 05.

While im sure he is the best source for getting badges.. i didnt expect to spend quite that much.

Is there anywhere else where I can get them cheaper?
(front, rear, OPEL letering and steering wheel)

thanks!

nope slim is the man!

slim is the cheapest for genuine, no b/s opel products....highly, highly doubtful you'll find anywhere cheaper (definately not in Oz)

The sucky thing about that though is it can be hard to get them all at once!

All I can say is you pay for what you get... unfortunately it's one of those things... you want it, you pay for it.

Even on ebay they can be around the same price... or if they are cheap, I have seen it, heaps of people bid on it and the before you know it it's around the same price as one from Craigie or Alec... or the other Opel suppliers.

you cant beat slim for genuine parts.. besides they arent that expensive really.. but if i suppose if you want a cheaper part than go elsewhere, you might save a few dollars, and i literally mean 'a few'..

I actually think the Opel badges are cheaper than the Holden badges... Holden charged me $53 for replacement SXI badges... where as if I ordered them from Opel direct, it would have been $20 something aus dollars... so Alec from DG Opel told me... grrr...

I sold my Holden front grille too, to wreckers... made a small profit... so maybe you could do that to help defray some of the cost - oh wait, does the Astra have a grille like the Corsa one????

Believe it or not they gave me $25 (I thought that was good) - it also helps when your brother's mate works there :wink:

But they said they will sell it for close to $50, no less than $40.
