Hello, does anyone have a good condition 70mm front badge for sale? Need to replace mine, however the price for a new one is a tad eye watering! I know you can use the 74mm which are a lot cheaper, however I like to keep things the way they were meant to be. :driving:

TIA

Paul

I ordered that one so will see how easy it is to scrape the old one of the backplate.

I assume heat and a knife of some sort

Ah, it's ended. They've relisted it:

I bought a 68mm recently as that was all I could find and assumed I'd measured it wrong. Going to try that and see how it looks before I go for one of these (because I'm mean!)

I picked up a 70mm badge from Ebay to replace the one that someone had removed from my car. The old one seemed to be attached by a blob of glue (which I removed using an old credit card). The new one is plastic rather than metal, but looks the part. It was very easy to attach - there is a metal baseplate on the car, and the new badge has a self-adhesive backing

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Still looking. £47 is eye watering for a badge.
