Rear badge - facelift ZT-T

inky · 29th December 2023, 11:31

I need to replace the MG badge on the boot of my facelift ZT-T, but it appears that replacements are a little tricky to find!

What's the best option for a replacement, short of purchasing a replacement boot plinth? Are any of the printed ones on eBay worth a look?

Finding a reasonable plinth replacement that has a pristine badge may prove to be difficult . You then will have the added burden of removing your old one and fitting it. You may find yourself in the same situation in a relatively short period of time due to oxidation. Why not try a good quality stick on, if you can get one. At least you can change it again if you buy a few !!

I was going to ask a similar question. Is the tourer MG badge the same size and fitting as the saloon? Think I've seen some saloon ones out there.

Some of the guys on the FB groups swear by AlBonnie prints (think that's their name anyway) and you can get custom ones doen as well.

From a little more searching and measuring, the rear badge is 45mm and the same size as some wheel centre badges. I've got 4 enamel badges on their way to me and will report back as to how well (or if) they fit.

The 45mm badges arrived today and are excellent quality and a very good fit.

I'll stick the spare ones I have in the for sale section
