but can i get my FR badges replaced under warrenty? they gone from a deep red to a nice shade of pink! didnt realli wanna for out silly amounts that they charge for badges!

 

[rashcupra]

will go down as wear and tear i doubt it i sold an fr badge for a 5er so not to pricey they sell them for £8 at the stealers

 

[hon_n_gem]

i need two another £16 for the seat then!

 

[rashcupra]

keep an eye open on ebay loads of new second hand badges go up on there your in no rush really or if you want them now then yer £16 to seat

ul be supriced some1 wont be bothered about your old 1s being faded and theyl buy them off you

 

[hon_n_gem]

lol, ill give it a try when ive get a new set! costly business keeping a car in good nick!

 

[rashcupra]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.................. yeah!

its only money tho ay

 

[BlackFR]

Yup get down the dealers.. Had mine replaced twice under warranty as they were turning pink... No quibbles at all.

Badge colour is not a wear and tear issue its a piss poor quality issue.

 

[hon_n_gem]

quality nice free badges for me! well hopefully :S

 

[rashcupra]

depends on your dealer really as some wont take no shite like mine!

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Check out your paint and rust warranty!

You could say the badges have been painted, therefore if they are turning pink they are not of a reasonable standard and should be replaced under warranty!

My mum got the badges changed under warranty on her FR cos they went pink, her car only done 3k tho lol

 

[RichieRich]

or just take ur badges off lol no pink then..

 

[Ksalmi]

hmm... a usefull hint. Some tape, a knife and a one of those tiny paint bottles (nail polish looking thingies. Dont really know the correct term) and youre all done cheap on costs. Have a steady hand and you dont even need to mask it with tape.

 

[rashcupra]

paint it urself s what ur saying then *ksalmi*

 

[CHR15B]

I'd hassle the dealership for replacement.

 

[vinocolapso]

Yep, I'd hassle the crap out of the dealership, they are painted but
should really be enamled & is a quality issue. dont let them get away with it

 

[Ksalmi]

paint it urself s what ur saying then *ksalmi*

Well yeah.. If the dealer goes no way i woulndt go all-out war over something like that.. they do remember those bitchy customers also and i bet youre pretty much loosing if theyd want to revenge on you the next service time comes up.

Several people with LCRs had the 'R' badges replaced under warranty due to early corrosion. Got to be worth a try.

If the dealer replaces them under warranty then they claim the costs back from SEAT so no reason it should annoy them.

 

[vinocolapso]

Hey Ksalmi
I'm not saying get heavy but there is obviosly a quality issue.
The colour should stay constant for at least the warrenty period. Its about how you explain that there is a problem that counts, desk thumping will achieve nothing wher'as a very polite but firm stating of the facts should work.
If not go direct to Seat UK who I have found pretty helpful in the past.
I work in 'design for mass production' and getting it right is pretty important otherwise we would all be driving trabants!! Know what I'm saying?

 

[hon_n_gem]

yeah i wouldnt go out of my way to paint them myself! it is a quality issue so i would realli expect a replacement!
