Hi all.

Mine has faded somewhat, and a fresh one would be nice.

Not seen them for sale...any recommendations please?

Also, is it doable to remove and fit myself? Car's due for a service soon, so I thought I'd look at this now.

Cheers,

Nick

You can get them from Hanger 111 and the like.

Normally a choice of a plastic one (cheap option) and an enamel one. For the nose, you need one that comes with two lugs.

Getting the badge off just takes a bit of time and patience, don't try and lever it off with a screw driver just try and work some thin plastic wire between the badge and body work in a sawing action. When you get half way you will hit some lugs so will need to work from the other end into the middle.

Thank you for that. So are they located with the lugs and all of them use adhesive to stay on...no screws or similar?

If the original was located with two lugs and adhesive I'll be more confident in tackling it smile

Mine is an '03 S2, silver.

What do you think the Union Jack background one would look like?
