Bonnet Badge

[robwright]

Have just got my badge panel back from paint. My old bonnet badge is in generally good order but the gold is somewhat faded. It would be a shame to put it on the new paint. I can't see a way to effectively recolour the gold. Before I ask for OPC price does anyone have one going spare? Any good aftermarket options?

You want to put a fake Porsche badge on a real Porsche?

Not really. I asked if there were any good aftermarket options?

I got a new bonnet badge from porscheshop.co.uk when I had my 968 resprayed, couldn't put the old faded badge back on!

I believe even the Porsche new ones will be a different colour from your worn one, given the age of the car []

True Genuine Porsche Bonnet badge is 90155921026 about £70 + from Porsche OPC

Any other number on the back and its not Genuine

Gasket is about a fiver, dont go on ebay for either, gaskets at £12 are a pi$$ take!

I already have all the genuine gaskets on order for the badge and door mirrors from Leicester OPC. 4 or 5 quid each and guaranteed to fit not like fleabay rubbish. Didn't realise how faded my old badge was until I put against the new paint today. Looked a bit sorry for itself. Oh well guess I had better get a badge quoted as well when I speak to them tomorrow.

Rob I might have our old badge off the race car - think it's in my garage somewhere, I can dig out tonight and send a photo - but obviously is still second hand! Just maybe less worn....

I read somewhere that the current batch OPC are selling weren't the best, can't remember details. I don't think you have many options though tbh. When I had my nose panel painted I got a mint 2nd hand one from Porsche-a-part for about £20. It was practically brand new. I put my old faded one on fleabay and it sold for £20!

Got one coming in from OPC Leicester. £85 all in but they are usually good at doing something with the price. Let's see what the quality is like then.

Thanks mate. I checked the part numbers with PET and OPC yesterday and 901 559 210 26 is the superceded part number for 901 559 210 20.

You could have gone full on lightweight and used a sticker.

I can confirm the "current" (as of 2 years ago) genuine badges are junk. I've had two and the red and black plastic inserts have fallen out of both. Porsche replaced the first under warranty and I couldn't be bothered to do anything about the second.

I have. The one off a GT2. Was about £2.20 from OPC or about £7.50 from eBay

The recent badges from Porsche that would drop the enamel bars out after about 6 months ended 20 (so my post above is slightly incorrect as a badge ending 20 or 26 is a true Genuine Porsche part)

Porsche recalled and changed production about a year ago to improve the quality, which it seems to have done, these end 26
