nice one John, looking good

Nope, can't spot it. can you give a clue?

Nice one, did exactly the same "mod" earlier this week, after a certain Mr Reebs pointed out that my boot badge was "a little faded". One for the understatement is Paul, it seems.

Thanks lads. Got the badge from X-parts after advice on their availability from members of this forum

Thats looks much better
A Job well done!

My car has the badge in the middle of the bootlid and the plastic covering has dulled and looks like its been rubbed over with some White Spirit!

I expect it will cost abit more to replace mine and will have to wait as other things with more priority like the rotted Shannon Tube!

Looks great mate! Mine was in a terrible state, but I got hold of a Cowley boot trim and fitted that instead.
