Skoda parts prices

I guess you all, as owners, know the wretched quality of the Skoda badges fixed to the grille & boot of our cars.
It doesn't take long before the silver paper breaks up and the black background starts to show through.
I am currently on an extended trip to the UK from my home in Spain, having driven from the Costa del Sol to Dunquerke and thus to GBR. The car performed well (Fabia 1.9tdi, returning 5 litres per 100 km over the 2400 km).
I decided to call at the local dealership to purchase two new Skoda badges - I thought about a tenner the pair as they are only plastic - NO! - including VAT, two Skoda emblems came to an eye watering £33.77. They are still cheap & nasty at THIS price and they are made in Italy.
RIP OFF!!!

I'm sorry, but mine are still like new after 56K miles...

I suspect the excellent quality of the Spanish weather must have detrimentsl effects on the badges... Tell I'm jealous of the Spanish climate? Nahhh!

(but it does seem a bit OTT on the prices though! I could have let you have the one off the boot of my old car for a fiver plus postage

)
