Carbonfibre 'H' Badges (Pic's)
#1
Thread Starter
As some of you know Matt (Composite Guru) very kindly made some 'H' badges up fro Lee and myself.
I think they look great, but the photo's really do not do them justice - you need to see and preferably handle them to realise what really high quality, skillfully crafted objects they are (and they got cured in an F1 autoclave - how cool is that )
What do the rest of you think? A good S2000 owing friend of mine who can be relied on for forthright, honest opinions thinks they 'look cheap' - largely as a consequence of the large number of cheap, nasty imitation C/F auto accessories out there on the market (and fitted by manufacturers like Ford, and even Honda - ITR).
So, it only leaves me to thank Matt very much indeed - great job mate.

Ian,
sorry mate but not my cup of tea, I have the Red badges on my Silver like Tif and I dont think you can beat them, particuarly with the red interior, gives the car a Type R look.

Thanks for posting the pics Ian!!!

Now i know what they look like on Silverstone. Must get round to making some for mine now!!!

I like them, they look good on Silver, a nice contrast.
I was originally going to get red badges, but after seeing the quality of Matt's tax disc holder and the badges on Lee's car at the Supermeet, I'm hoping Matt finds the time to make me a set (gentle hint..... )

well i personally love them! more than the fact they are pukka CF, i like the fact that there's only two sets floating around in the world!! That alone make them well worth it. I personally dont think they look tacky - i wouldnt have suggested making them or even put them on my car for that matter if i did. I do think tho, that they look totally different on ian's silverstone than they do on my MCB. I think somehow the colour of the car brings out a different look in the weave. I do agree with ian tho, these pics dont even come close to looking at the badges in person.
Thanks again matt!
