ive ordered a rear badge, but i was told something that the gt mk3 in europe didnt have a badge on the grille but g40's did thats why they are still available or something. on etka though you can get a g40 grille badge but no gt one listed.

Rear badges are a no-go, but the guy at the parts dept got me all worked up saying they had them at £6.19 plus VAT, told him to order one and he then found out that they couldn't get any.
Bummer.

I don't think it was a lot of money at all!!
£13 if I recall!!
(bearing in mind I've slept since then! But I think it was that price
)

Could they definately order it in though?
My local garage thought they could, but when they tried putting it through it didn't work. They've been out of production since March '04.

neither, G40 front badge.
When I rang they said they couldn't get the rear badge for a G40, only the front. Tried to order and got nowhere.

The one with the broken P?
I didn't bother watching it!
Your ebay name is Spikey something isn't it? I'm sure I saw the one you won, it was mint!
