I've stripped and painted my Skoda grille which meant removing the old faded Skoda badge, now before I go and buy a new replacement from Skoda are there any other badges I could use instead??

Plenty of options available - a good look on eBay throws up some good results.

This kind of thing...

...looks very nice, but it all depends on the colour of the car and the colour of the grille

I'd stick with a nice shiny standard original, but the one from eBay posted ^ does look pretty cool though...modding is a fun old game!

Oh that it s, I can never quite make up my mind sometimes, I'm tempted with the vRS badge sets as I'm still in the middle of smoothing my Audi wheel centre caps.

Have a look at this thread for some ideas. I have two of the "retro" badges on order at the moment. Drop PastyBoy a PM and he can order you pretty much anything.

Or go the mesh route...
