Sure wish there was a Bluestar emblem available. I'd pay real Merkin dollars for one of those

251 part prefix is for a van body not a truck.
245 or 247 part prefix is for a truck.
Truck body style is 245-248 and the truck only parts reflect this in the part number prefix.

Mine is in the mail from europe. Paypal feels less like real money than even a CC.
Hopefully it's right, but I think I may have been duped and he's going to bait and switch me for a T5 badge. We'll see. |

From reading some of the posts here I guess that I can consider myself lucky to have gotten this badge from a friend of mine for free. Its almost mint.

Yep, a T5 badge showed up. Should have known better. I paid so damn much for it after shipping I feel like I should at least keep it and make it wall art.
I don't really blame the seller. The listing wasn't specific and I didn't ask. |

Another gift from abroad. I now understand why my wife gets so pist...
Never inexpensive, but brings a smile to my face...(around $50 with shipping I think)
Now to figure out how to install. This one is brand new. I paid extra to have it printed in reverse...(jk)
I read that people over seas love the Vanagon emblem, while we pay $50 for the transporter emblems here...just goes to show (again) that the grass is ALWAYS greener...

They might pop up on British Ebay or German Ebay from time to time.
I'm digging the Microbus badge. I don't know if I'd trade the Transporter one for it though:

I picked one up from a Samba member here (Yogivw), and I recall seeing one on the parts classifieds within the last few months. You can also check out Lar's site:
http://stores.ebay.de/Der-VW-T3-Bus-Schrottplatz
He often carries a few too, shipping is not too bad from EU. Very dependable vendor.
If not I do have an extra one that had the chrome finish rubbed off; I sanded it down and painted it satin black, but ended up finding a nice chrome finish to use on the Doka instead. PM me if your interested.
Now you do know there are two different Transporter badges, ones that fit the Doka/Sinka and ones that were placed on the Euro vans, right?

There are 2 different versions for the vanagon- truck and van body. IIRC the same is true of the eurovans.
