Fitted mine today with a few other new bits in the 'Rides' section  :wink:

How did you get on with the rear Steve? I had a nightmare, it just didn't want to go back on, it was as though it had shrunk  :rolleye:

Just the same by the sounds of things, it just about went on in the end but still on one edge it's sits a little high.

You could try carefully removing the backing black plastic (the emblem sits on top of this) off the handle.

Once off, you can then make sure all the clips on the back of the emblem full engages and locked on to the plastic piece. Glue the combo back on to the handle.
Without traction power is nothing!

^^^ The problem area is the side clips, the overall diameter of the C/F wrapped badge is slightly smaller now.  :smiley:

That's what I thought, maybe they have been exposed to some intense heat during the wrapping process? Good idea about separating the handle, wish I'd have thought about that today  :wink:

Too much money tbh, if you do one , you have to do the other, and for me was too much £.

....Good point - If you do one you'll feel the irresistible urge to do the other!
