Default Plinth badges

I magpie'd a boot plinth from a 75 in a scrapyard last weekend for club member John down in Sydney. It's in decent enough nick as you can see:



It does need a new plinth badge though. Any suggestions to get one?

Thumbs up

Currently available on ebay for £4.99 delivered but that price is open to offers so maybe could be had for a little less. They are described as brand new (old stock) and 40mm x 30mm in size. Part number is DAB000100 "Genuine New Rover 75 Saloon 2001-2004 Boot Badge Insert" - fits saloon 2001-2004 only and does not fit tourer. Click

IIRC the wheel centre badges are the same size and there's plenty of new ones of those knocking about

Gently warm the badge to remove and then transfer it over to the plinth

Pardon my ignorance but how do the saloon and tourer ones differ?

Thanks

The rear badges for the tourer are smaller and much more difficult to replace. Got mine from one of the forum members as the original had no colour left on it.

I found the original type looks & feels cheap.
Go for a humphshumphs badge if he still has some.
