I am looking at making a different look for like boot lid and front grill badges. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!

I have been playing with many ideas for a new look front and rear badge... The ones I used to sell just had the Xr on them. They are CNC machined, glossy clear acrylic material, infilled with the colour of choice..and stick over the existing badge, this way you dont have the hassle of removing the factory badge. I have a few new products that I have in mind. Get back to me with what you have in mind & maybe we can brainstorm something everyone will like (maybe the forum logo) just an Idea !!

I do a bit of graphic design, so I could mock up a design for myself (or other G6E owners)what sorta costs are involved in the setup?

I just need a high res black & white image, either in jpg. or bitmap (jpg. prefered) I will then vectorise the art & add fill for the cnc machine. Send me something rough so I can have a look. No setup cost involved. A set of badges will cost $50.00 ready to stick on.

Been wanting to get something different for my car and the only ones I have found are on ebay with XR in them and guessing they were your ones Edited 01/02/09 04:01 AM by bionic turbo
justkrusin Member 52 Member For: 17y 9m 4d Gender: Male Location: Geelong Area Posted 01/02/09 04:26 AM Posted 01/02/09 04:26 AM I have not had badges on ebay for about 18 months I reckon.. There were Xr vinyl stickers on ebay (they werent mine) I sold mainly XR and FPV badges

What sort of detail and colour can be supported? I quickly knocked something up, however as I only found out this could be done a few hours ago I have no real picture for what I'd like. But this may help me find out what is possible.

But the word turbo can be another colour, if you follow.. These will be machined out not printed. That is why I specified, black & white artwork. The artwork you have posted, is possible but the G6E would be 1 colour only, the turbo another if you like.I hope I have explained it clearly, if not let me know :

Always like to find the limits first Ok how about silver? what I'm thinking is Black background with silver G6E and red Turbo...Also you said $50 a set, is this the front grill, boot and steering wheel?

Steering wheel garnish eh !!! Once I have the logo done I will set up a cutout for the garnish... I need to know the extremites of the G6E garnish (is it the same as my Fg XRT ???) Also, send me the black & white art in jpg. Ok, I will do front, boot & garnish for $50.00
