Alpina Badges

[polsta]

Anyone know where to get some alpina gear knob emblems from ?

presume genuine ones are nla, used to be able to get them on ebay for cheap but there are none, need 32mm, smallest on ebay now is 44mm for steering wheels, ive emailed some sellers asking if they can supply that size, but wondering if anyone knows or has some laying about ?

or puka- is this the sort of thing you can get done ? presume you could do a perfect badge, if you can find someone to make them in to the plastic dome things they would sell well as im sure a fair few people would want them ?

They are avalible through cooks ferry in Enfield and cost a fortune.

[polsta]

thanks for that but just spoke to them, they said theve never sold just the badges alpina never sold them seperate, and also the supplier they once used for alpina stuff went bankrupt a while back

Got 4x wheel badges from them in December. Not mucch help I know. Keep my ears open.

What about nelly at a1bmw.ight have some knocking about.

u can't get the gearnob one on its own.

[pukar]

i can make one

[jimbom30cab]

Can you make me some original dealer stickers also?

[pukar]

if you cannot find any originals, here are the wheel badges i do. they can be ordered in a smaller size if required and will probably need a solid "disc" of some sort behind it to fix it in place, but should look pretty good once in.

yes mate, i can do dealer stuff, pm me if interested so as not to clog up OPs thread ;)

[polsta]

atul you sir are a legend !! can you make them good to go straight on the gear knob with slightly domed top and the hard enamel type finish ?

also can you do the normal mushroom 5 speed type with the Mtech stripes across the top corner ??

[pukar]

hey man, thanks!

the resin finish is not a hard enamel but slightly softer which makes it more resistant to scratching from your bling'n'tingz. this might not sound right but all my wheel badges use the same process (as do most domed badges nowadays).

i can do the m-tech thing in design, but i am sure that this was deeper (3-4mm) and had some tabs around the edges. if yours is shot, you could file the "face" down a couple of mm and put a new sticker on top?

whatever happened to the mtech grill badge sticker? i'm still waiting for someone to get back to me with a thumbs up re:fit before i get any made....

let me know.

Atul i will 100% have 1 please for the longer mushroom type gearknob if you go ahead with it.

[pukar]

alpina or mtech? and what diameter is it??

[sunnyr83]

Alpina mate, not got the gearknob with me to measure though.

[polsta]

alpina are 3.2mm round, il take a few of them


ahhh yes forgot about the other ones having the bit around the edge , its been a long time since ive even touched one

the m grille badge- who had the printer who printed one ??? can you not get it exact from the measurements i posted up in the thread abut it ? i really want some of those too

[Rav335uk]

3.2mm???

[polsta]

3.2mm???

?? what are you getting at fabritzio ravenelli

[Rav335uk]

Read the 3.2mm round.
Spot the mistake?

[pukar]

if that roundel is 3.2mm, then i am seriously overestimating the size of your knob

i think you need to remeasure...perhaps 32mm? rav, you know knob sizes, can you check........anyone else know any more knob jokes?

let me know asap as i am ordering alpina badges as we speak.

m-tech grille badge - i'm just gonna get one printed and send it to you to check the size as no one has confirmed as yet.

[polsta]

Yeah as in my 1st post it's 32mm not 3.2 lol,look forward to seeing them il take 4 price depending

[pukar]

ok, i have got the ball rolling and will be getting some in in the next couple of weeks depending on how quick my doming guy can dome!

polsta, you can have 4 and 1 for sunny so far....

[sunnyr83]

I'll have 2 please Atul.

[pukar]

i have these now in stock, they are £5 each and look lush!!
