£94. Approx for a new badge but what I liked about this company is that they epoxy resin the face so as the paint doesn't get worn off.

For £60 it seems like a fair deal.

I presume that's the boot badge - how do you get it off?

Quite an easy job even with my ape fingers ... In the boot there's a round black rubber disc just below and to the right of the boot catch , remove this and reach in and you'll feel the lock nuts just don't drop em !!! Badge comes off with 2 springs behind as pic below .
Regards Paul.

If you sand them back they are brass underneath anyway.

Nice one. The only tatty bit of my car is the rear badge - I'll get that sorted now.
