Did a small mod i have been meaninig to do for a while
« on: January 29, 2009, 09:14:55 am »
After thinking about doing this since i had the car, and then seeing that Mr Mcavity (i didnt superglue mine on LOL)
had done it recently i thought i would do it  first thing this morning  :happy2:

i just stuck some wire on with Araldite glue, and then just twisted the wire till tight, i also used the sticky backing but this will have little effect as there no contact to speak of, hopefully the wire will hold it there a while  :laugh:

Heres my wire bodge, ignore the mess lol, it wont be seen

^^^^^ Lets just say if they really want it they will get it off, but I've also considered the exposed adhesive at the back and that picking up all sorts during the worst of the weather  :wink:

Guys, why are you going to this length to fix the badge :-

Firstly they are £9

Secondly the backing tape will fix it to the grille

????????????????????????

Just stick it on - mine has been on the car 2 weeks after I bought it in June

Gareth

Normally i mock fellow R32 owners for playing the 'lets see how many times i can stick the word r32 to the car' game, but that looks good, as mentioned, very OEM  :happy2:
