janz70 Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Hi, Does anybody have a 350Z badge for sale ? also looking for these Quote
M13KYF Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 here http://www.courtesyparts.com/350z/index.html and here (UK based) http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/item_deta ... =449002561 Quote
janz70 Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 Thanks for the links - tried courtesy but they are going to charge about £25 postage for 3 badges to UK - a little steep me thinks for 3 pieces of plastic that will be put in a jiffy bag Quote
bigphil Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 have these in stock £30 each or £55 for two, only in chrome at the moment. Quote
JDM Performance Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 If you're still after those badges, we'll have them in stock in around 2 weeks Chris Quote
janz70 Posted July 14, 2007 Author Posted July 14, 2007 Yes I'm still interested I was thinking I was gonna have to pay that extortionate postage fee from courtesy nissan USA - so how much for 2 then funky ? Quote

nixy Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 this is probably a daft question but why are the badges so expensive? Quote

JDM Performance Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 They have to come from USA, so there's a shipping cost to get them over by Air Mail - then there's the old VAT and clearance fee and handling fee by the shipping company. Then when we take your money we get charged by the bank between 3 and 4.5% as fees. Additionally, we had to pay out a bank fee to buy them from the US company in the first place. I think maybe it'd be a better idea to be a bank rather than a car parts retailed Cheers Chris Quote
nixy Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 ah that explains it ta. I just remember having to get a new GTI badge a few years ago and it only cost a few quid from the local dealer. Someone should learn how to make a Z badge! Quote
Danny350z Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I don't understand why they have to come from the USA, it's not as if the car is an import is it? You'd think being a UK car the badge would be readily available just as any other part. I get the feeling Nissan put a huge markup on the things because they know they're an easily nickable part.

M13KYF Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 they aren't made by nissan so no mark up Quote
Gus Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I don't understand why they have to come from the USA, it's not as if the car is an import is it? You'd think being a UK car the badge would be readily available just as any other part. Eerrhh, yes it is an import, not a UK car All 350Zs for the whole world are made in one factory in Japan. That's not to say they can't make various components in different parts of the world Gus Quote
GIXXERUK Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 just like to say that i have used JDM performance aka funky styling this week and i have no complaints, the service was excellent and fast delivery, i did have to scratch my head when the order turned up in a felix cat food box though Quote
