shed13C Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Hi Folks, I am looking to buy Audi badges as follows: These badges seem to be available from several sources with the official Audi version (from dealers and OEM parts) costing up to £50 each! I have also seen what seem to be the same badges on eBay for as little as £9.99. Has anyone bought the cheaper, after market badges? If so, what is the real difference apart from price? Is it really worth paying £35+ for the genuine Audi part? Thank you for your help. Kind regards Paddy UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I'd say it wouldn't be worth the extra in my opinion. Let's be honest you could buy a cheap one, loose it or similar and replace it with the same one cheaper than an Audi one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shed13C Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Hi @Steve Q Thank you for your reply. I took a risk and ordered the £9.95 badge off eBay. The seller assures me these are of high quality. I will update the thread when they arrive. Many thanks Paddy UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Hello Paddy, I doubt if you will be disappointed with it, but please keep us up to date. I bought one for a non-Audi and would have been totally satisfied with it if it had cost twice as much. Delivery May take longer than stated, but….. Kind regards, Gareth.

Solution shed13C Posted November 21, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted November 21, 2023 Hi @Magnet and @Steve Q Well, the "Audi Sport" badges from eBay arrived this morning - very quick. As stated above, I decided to go all in and ordered the cheapest at £9.95 including P&P! Here is the eBay link I ordered from (I realise this will lapse over time, but FYI): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115942723683 In terms of the badges... they are mint and of very high quality from what I can see. If someone told me these were the Audi factory badges at £50 a pop then I would not be surprised. Seriously, I cannot recommend these enough. Save yourself a lot of money if you are in the market for these badges. Hope this helps Paddy UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Great Paddy - I did say you wouldn’t be disappointed. I’ve found Aliexpress an etc. to come up with very good copies - in my experience. I bought a set of mud flaps for a non Audi, and all they lacked was the marque on the packaging - the flaps themselves were embossed with the logo, just as the main dealer ones were. Saving ? - about 1/3 of the main dealer price! Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
