Just a quick question. My front badge is looking a little tired. Just looked on Z centre and noticed the differnt colours. Was there a reason for the red and gold instead of the normal one? Just wondering?

Likely colour difference was to make it stand out more in contrast, Black on Silver body, red on black and so on..

The red badges were OEM on late model Zeds - 99spec, I think, but someone will know for sure. Hence why the red ones are a popular upgrade.....

The gold ones, as JaiKai says, likely to stand out on different body colours.

Yep red ones were on 99 specs, unsure if they were specific to the TT’s or on NA’s too. Never seen an OEM car with the gold badge.

Black and silver z badges were the most common on all models from 89-98 except for convertibles modules where the black and gold badges were used.

In late 98+ for the final 99spec models silver and red badges were used and replaced the standard black and silver badges on all models and the extremely rare red and gold badge was an optional extra you had to buy for a new 99spec model. That's what I have discovered from my research
