Query on premium badge for facelift bumpers - Page 2

Thanks for the help, lads.

Duotones pic has made sense of it, although I think Mike may be right about some sort of "backing plate" being needed.

I'll just build up a few layers of double-sided sticky tape and it should be OK.

Interestingly, the Mark 1 badge is exactly the same size and shape as the Facelift. Here's one I fitted to mine.

i bought a facelift grille badge a while ago and have never fitted it, as it has 2 locating lugs and apparently nowhere for them to locate, it is also extremely thin at about 2/3mm and imo would not look a great deal better than the metal sticker that is currently on.

Having seen the previous post about there being 2 parts to it, i contacted my local MGR dealer and confirmed that there are indeed 2 parts, a backing plate and the badge itself which is presumably where the lugs locate.

I have definitely only got the badge part so have ordered the 2 piece one ( cant buy the backing plate separately ) and will post up some pics when i get it.

Duotones does look as though it stands a bit proud so maybe he had the 2 parts ?

The part number is still DAB00231 cost £21.53 plus vat

Ihave fitted the one like Trebor's and it has got two lugs on the back all i did was cut them off and used a heavy glue to fix it on been on for a while now had no probs at all with, they do stick proud thats the way they should be so the men at the top say.

Got to admit they look good standing proud.

On the MK2's so much better than that awful "label" type one.
