Ed30 Owners.. check your badges!!
« on: August 30, 2010, 05:28:55 pm »
Hi guys,

As mentioned in another thread, i washed the car yesterday. After paying particular attention to the "Edition 30" badge at the rear, i noticed the red colouring starting to bubble and come away:







Firstly, anybody else got the same problem? secondly, anyone knows if i stand a chance with a warranty claim? I went to the stealers today but the service department was shut.

Thanks

Rich

If i can get it for free my the dealers under warranty, all the better. I suspect they will have a template of some sort for the proper positioning of the badge
