Correct Rear Script Emblem for Murcielago LP640

[BigPines]

Thanks CCIE. It looks like you do have good prices and I'd rather have metal. I'm not sure what size I need. It is pretty difficult to get solid information. Maybe someone could measure theirs? Murci-Me? I think they are 8" but I'm not sure.

I think the 5" versions are for the dash...but again, I am not sure. If anyone knows and wants to chime in, that would be great.

I wish I knew if there were subtle differences between these different script part numbers. I guess if I can't see them, I shouldn't worry about it.

BTW, what are you asking for your metal 8" scripts?

Wow.....

What size are the script that you are looking for?
I need to raise my prices (I am sure I will still run into some price drama... lol)....
The ones I have are also metal as well as screws/nuts in the back, I also have few 8" as well

That is a good point. I just figured the chrome may come off easier on the plastic due to weather. Heck both my cars parked in the driveway have plastic chrome emblems I'm sure. Maybe I am sweating the small stuff here.

I wouldn't worry about it being plastic or metal, some of the real Lamborghini’s use the plastic one and not even the owners can tell.  Most of the new cars have the plastic emblems anyways.

So it looks like we have come full circle here. I was originally looking at 400853742A but was then told about the cheaper 400853742B part. It was then discovered that 400853742B was plastic which I don't want (thanks String) so now I am back to 400853742A. Since I am really not keen to pay $300+ for this part (it isn't solid gold is it?), but I would still like metal, I am wondering if there is another part that is metal that has the same dimensions I could use instead.

Well I am confused. the lambostuff price is now $365.58: http://www.lambostuff.com/xq/asp/webcat.yes/prid.24391/action.1/qx/product.htm

They dont cost much more than that. I think they gave me a discount at the time, since I ordered all my stuff from them (grills, emblems, taillights, door handles, etc).

[BigPines]

I wonder how you got that price? It seems inflation is killing us.

[Murci-Me]

I got mine for $119 from Lambostuff.

[BigPines]

That is a decent offer bierhanzel. I will consider it but I am going to continue to look around.

[bierhanzel]

I offer you for 300USD including shipping.

[BigPines]

You are really amazing String! 

Thanks for the insight!

I just heard from AMH Parts and his price on the rear emblem script 400853742A is $310.

Anyone purchased from this guy before?

[String]

That's easy - with the VAG part number system you break it into 3 groups of 3 numbers ,these then tell you the vehicle model ,which part of the vehicle and ultimately which side - the part is on. The letter suffix denotes updates to the parts specification A,B and now to C. You will see that the C has gone to a single stud fixing , whereas earlier versions had three stud fixings, any slight change will result in a part no. update.

Thanks String. I appreciate you telling me that before I made a purchase. I will get a best price on 400853742A.

I assume I have the right part number on the Hood Badge - 400853745C? Now I wonder what the "C" means.

Hi,
My rear script is also metal with M4 threaded studs , however I suspect the 'B' suffix part is plastic (chromed) as I just checked ,it uses clips to secure it rather than nuts , and having  recently purchased the interior script ( on the A/C lid) , which also uses the same clips - and is indeed a plastic part.
