Not a fan of the silver badging on my recent purchase so looking to change to something a little more subtle.

When specifying black badges do they normally come with matt or gloss finish?

I have the extended black package which is obviously a gloss finish so would assume I would get badges to match. A couple of other cars I have seen recently have matt badges so I'm a little confused.

If anyone has any pictures of a Volcano grey example with gloss badging it would be great to see.

Thanks

Not had any input here so maybe i should put this another way...

Does anyone actually have gloss black badges or do then tend to be matt by default?

Just thought gloss badges would match with extended black package better so surprised they are not the default

On the new GTS they are matt by default. Even on my Sapphire Blue they are not easy to read. :!:

My departed Carmine red had gloss black badges, they looked superb.

Thanks Guys

Think I’m going to go for gloss as it will at least match with other detailing on the car.

Now just got to decide if I will install myself or pay the local OPC £400 all up to do it
