Im just looking for the E and the R of the Viper logo, anyone have these lying around?
Not worried about colour as I plan to get them chrome plated

the letters are injected moulded plastic Mark, so not sure how chrome plating will take to them

How do they chrome the factory badges then? There must be a process?

Not the best pic but.

Thanks for the input chaps Ive been speaking with a company in Kent who think they may be able to chrome the badges, but are now away on holiday until the 6th Aug, my plan was to take my existing badges down to them for a look.

Ive no idea weather they will be able to do them or not but seeing as I have just bought the Chrome Hood badges from VPA (not cheap) I think the rear badges would complete the look in Chrome.

Cheers for the offer of the badges Dave, I may well take you up on your offer

Just ordered the chrome Gen 2 rear bumper badges from the VIper store . will see what they look like . Thanks guys

[Viper]

afraid to say they arent as good in real life compared to the OE's Mark, i had a few sets, they look more plastic'y than chrome. i did buy the kit to make them myself a few years ago the process is just chrome vinyl with a clear two pack resin on the top

there's a guy by me that makes them all the time

Wow, fast shipping Fed Ex, new Chrome badges turned up this morning and pricing marked very very favorably Right result.

In the box came a squeegee applicator, instructions, Chrome graphics packaged really well with bubble wrap and stiff card. As far as sizing goes they are pretty close to the OEM badges, the letters GTS are slightly thinner than the OEM badges but overall not too bad at all, they should look OK (as long as i get them straight)

Just need that Stickers bloke to give me some tips now

[Viper]

there easy to do Mark, just make yourself a paper template marking the letters and the position on the bumper befre you pull them off, so the new ones go in the corect place
