The laquer has came off my nose badge as I am sure it does with most , anyone know were I can pick one up cheap ? or perhaps someone has changed to black one and I could have it for small fee?
Also do they simply pop on and off with some carful screwdrivering ?
Thanks troops

Ah ! was confused cause there was 2 listed for s2 exige , just noticed one was rear one front . Forgot older cars have this badge on back !
Dam it , I hate having to order stuff from hanger111, Always feel I need to make the delivery charge worthwhile. Thinking maybe alloy indicator stalks and some alloy foor matt fixings

That moroso oil pan would certainly make the delivery charge worthwhile

I got a black one off ebay for the 340r , and I noticed that there were standard ones as well. Just do a search and you will find plenty to choose from!!

some of the nose badges pop off some of them are held on by two nuts on the back. If there held on by nuts then its a clam off job.

Fishing line is for the stick on badges, not the bolt on ones. I *think* S1s have bolt ons and S2s have stick ons?

Don't use the screwdriver.....you'll damage the paintwork/clam......fishing line, some gloves to prevent slashed fingers and some patience!
Enjoy.....
I have a new one sitting in my kitchen but will wait til it gets a bit warmer before I set about it (with some SE help!)......
