Aluminium Indicator badge

[Buckley06]

:!: :!: All have now gone :!: :!:

This weekend i am looking to make some indicator badges.
They will be out of 6082 aluminium. The finish will be machined with a clear coat on for protection. I'm looking to make 20 sets.

They will be at £30 per set and what ever the postage will be.(guessing about £4)

If you want them plain let me know. Ie. no z4 logo.
Also if you are going to colour match to your car let me know so I don't put clear coat on.

Let me know if you are interested and I can you to the list.(pm)

(This is a 1off make and not going to be a service )

Also interested, I love the gear knob you produced (thankyou). I know this is probably a long shot but can the aluminium be painted or coloured at all? My reason for asking is that I have a black sapphire car and I think it would look stunning with black sapphire indicator badges. It would help with the sleekness of the lines and hide the indicator (if that makes sense, I like a clean look).

They can yes but I would have to send it you without clear coat so you can spay it.

Is it possible to hollow out the entire "Z4" text, instead of just an outline? I think that would look much better.

Just giving suggestions... not in for a set as i already have something similar

Another one interested here, would like to see them in situ before committing, looks like they'll be the nuts though....

That already is 0.5mm deep it's not a trace. :wink:

Another interested party here (have PM'd), especially as my passenger-side badge was destroyed (covered in rubber) due to lorry side-swiping the car last week. How would you go about attaching them? I assume some durable 3m double adhesive tape?

Yeah exactly that, 3M double sided foam tape.
The same as what is on now.

Very nice, you obviously need the clear repeaters as well.

Ok so the spec of the badges is as follows, 82mm OD 9.5 thick and the cut out for the logo is 0.50mm/1.00mm deep
Will see what looks best.

:!: :!: UPDATE :!: :!:

Sadly this is the back face but I have made a start.
Back in tomorrow to finish them off.

Just wondering why you're cutting them from stock so thick? Wouldn't something thinner look a bit sleeker? Really interested in seeing the final product. Could be up for a set if they look decent installed. Love a good bit of Innovation!

I just matched the oem set for size. And they are 9.5mm.
