i'd be asking mr panelbeater to reimburse you for the cost of the new badges.

iirc you can't get the clubman stickers anymore. i think somebody here has a scan of one that you can take to a printer and get it custom made.

They are not avaliable anymore.. Mine was stolen when I first got my car a few years back. I looked for months, and contacted everyone you can think of.

I found one person that had an original spare clubman badge, but he didnt want to sell it.

I even looked into getting a few made up, I scanned and photoshopped the badge to be spot on with the original. Then when I went to get them made up, I was told no smaller than a run of 500 badges.

Goodluck..

wait for them to see this thread i guess. maybe someone else will read this and offer more info.

also, you could try doing a search on "clubman badge" or "clubman sticker" using the search function at the bottom of the page.

I have an excellent condition sticker on the back and the bilstein sticker that fits on the left side front mudguard....But i don't have a camera that i feel will be good enough to do a macro type image..

If anyone in brissie has a good enough camera to take snaps to help this guy out....

As an alternative one of the people i work with has family that works for the company that does alloy work(water jet) for stone brothers...maybe do a replica in .06 alloy and polish it up? No idea of cost though!

What Fatty said, go back straight away, like TODAY! and tell him that those badges are not available anymore and that he is a moron (well maybe not the last part).
But get him to give you a refund cause now you have to get new ones made up.
At the least, get him to rummage through the bin to salvage them.
I bet you a 100 bucks the reason why he threw them out was that he mangled them taking them off.

What a retard.

If the badge was available from Mazda, they would probably cost you $30-$40 each, or even more.

To get 500 pieces made would probably cost you around $1,500.00 all up (or even less).
Therefor, if you could sell 20 of them, and I'm sure that there are 20 Clubman owners on this forum that would buy one, then if you charged say $50 each for them, that would almost cover the charge of making them, and then you would have 480 spares!

I'm sure if they were available, you could sel them to Mazda dealers, clubs and MX5 Mania as well.

After all, to someone who knows, the Clubman badge is worth at least $500 on the right car when buying it.

Don't forget that the badge is not just a flat sticker, but a \"Dome\" type of sticker which is partly 3 dimensional.
There is a build up of clear epoxy, or something similar, over the metalised sticker which gives it some height above the panel it is stuck on to.
The sticker itself is foiled, so it can't be made under any old printing press either. That's what gives it its metallic look.
