Ferrari Style Tribute Badge

24 Jun 2015, 10:51am
Hi all,

A company I previously purchased from make bespoke billet aluminium badges.
I had a one off badge made a while back and the quality was superb.
So if any of you would like any type of billet badge made I can highly recommend their service although they are from the US so it does take a while.
They can do larger quantities so if there is a decent take up there could be a group discount available!

The image below is a photoshopped mock-up of what a tribute badge might look like in the Ferrari style should you wish to keep away from Ferrari badges.

Very nice - roughly what cost delivered for the one off?
24 Jun 2015, 11:45am
Checkout their website, like $6 per square inch minimum 20sq.
But there's a set up charge and charges for polishing so it wont be cheap as a one off.
Thought a group but might make it much cheaper.

I like very much. Well done.

UK Maker

I wonder if there is anyone in the uk able to make these ? They look good

I would guess it's done using a CNC machine? Must be loads of those about in the UK.

If it's by I Say Ding Dong it's probably a vinyl sticker

I Say Ding Don did the Superlegera stickers for the sides of mine. They appeared to be metal with a sticky packing. Very thin though. I will try and get a picture later

25 Jun 2015, 6:58pm
No I wish it's a real Ferrari!
25 Jun 2015, 7:58pm
Never mind ! I thought it was the ex demo car from Stoneliegh .

Who has that car now , it should be nearly finished I would think.

Nice to see the owner of a real SWB creating a tribute to Chris and Dan

Or.. amazing how easy it is to Photoshop a tribute badge on a Ferrari! :first:

I will probably go this route when I take the plunge as I really dont want to go down the Ferrari badge route.

Do you think Chris will do a Yellow gel coat?

I like the number plate although 250 NOT might be more apt

It is a 250 Nick, though a re-bodied 250GTE (chassis 2609GT) rather than a GT Berlinetta.
