I like the look of it but not sure I want to superglue it? Won't it melt the bits of the grille it's attached to? So if you did ever want to take it off you'd have to replace the grille?  :confused:

Why would i wanna remove it Nath? im not going to buy another ed30??.

And the reason why i left the stickypad on is the glue is applied to that so it will be obsorbed more by that and not damage the grill.
You cannot get enough contact to use just the adhesive pad that comes with it. It will fall off especially in this cold weather.The glue ive bought isnt super strength resin, the type that wont melt toughened plastic.(cheap £1.99) :smiley:
It didnt melt my skin if your thinking that using glue will be too strong for lightly mounting onto the grill.

i did consider this myself, but never got around to it, looks like they have put the price up as they were about £7+ vat when i got mine, i was going to hot glue some wire to the back of the badge and use that to tie wrap it on as well as the sticky backing

yes i called 2 dealers, and both were £9+vat=£10.35

Ebay is more if you add P+P.

Neither dealer had them in stock, but got it in nxt day.

Could get damaged/pitted? Seems a good idea anyway and as long as the glue wasn't too strong i'd consider doing it..........

Nice one Steve  :jumpmove:

So to clarify, you superglued it to your front grille?  :confused:

Yes it is long enough to make contact with the Honeycombe grill in 4 places , so i pressed the badge on first so it marked the sticky pad, then put a thin bead of super glue to the sticky pad where it was marked and refastened.

....Phil, do you realise that you now qualify for having a BIALI sticker!!
