If someone wants gold badges etc it is possible to gold leaf them , 24karat gold leaf kits are around £12 , you get a brush , size, and leaf pad with about a dozen sheets - a steady hand and cotton buds , if you are ham fisted ,just don't ...

So, took a look and I have got one, it appears to be the front bumper Toyota logo. A little bit worse for wear from stone chips.

 

Is this sellable as I don't want or need it ? It's that or it'll end up on my tool chest.

nice to know blythmrk. Was there any special reason toyota made them gold?

I know their AE86 models has a gold edition car but don't know why would they have chosen this? Is it a specialty from the rest?

 

I think it was just an optional extra?

Supra gold badges get listed for strong money in the USA as they rarely come up for sale and were a common fitment on several base colour cars in the 1996/7 years and also jspec cars of that era.

 

Your badge is quite badly chipped so isn't likely to be valued that highly, but it'll probably end up more chipped sitting in your tool chest so you might as well see if it shifts. If you are prepared to post overseas you could eBay it on auction and see where it goes, probably £20 would be a good price to achieve in this condition. I think the good quality badges will only become more valued as time goes by as people will naturally prefer NOS (I myself have paid £100 for a NOS gold logo badge) or as good as new if they wish to retain originality as when it comes time to repaint their car, owners would rather add new badges rather than return their old faded and battered badges onto new paint.

 

If you do an eBay listing include the width and height as that differentiates the logo badge on a Supra from lesser Toyota's logo badges.
