Badge sizes...Help !

[Matt_McT]

Hi all, I have done a number of things to my car and now only have a couple left that I want to do. One of them is change all the badges for black carbon look ones. The only problem is I don't know the specific sizes, would anyone be able to tell me the badge sizes for the Zed please ?

Thanks a lot, Matt

Or try a tape measure?

These were the sizes on my 1997 2.8:-
Bonnet 82mm
Side gills 78mm (Remove the side gills for easier emblem removal by pushing from the back, its worth the effort as I scratched the paintwork on one of mine that i didnt remove )
Boot 78mm
Steering wheel 45mm (sticks over the original, I made the mistake of pulling my original off which has 3 metal lugs on it, i was lucky i didnt ruin the wheel)
Wheels 68mm

I urge you to buy some new grommets for the bonnet

and I strongly recommend you email the ebay seller "japan_lighting" and tell him what badge sizes you want (I did), he'll do you a paypal invoice for the custom order.
He appears to be the only one on fleabay that sells OEM quality wheel centre caps that fit lovely and snug and also the 78mm badges at the time of writing

This type of wheel cap is crap, i bought these initially and they're so loose they just fall out...AVOID!



Remove existing emblems like this






I found that the pins on the 78mm badges (for side Gills and boot) needed a bit of a tickle with a dremmel as they were too large for the holes.

*EDIT*
(8/7/2014)
I previously used 3M heavy duty double sided tape and my boot emblem fell off! luckily whilst it was parked in the garage.......
I have since purchased some Unibond No Nails double sided tape, cut into thin rectangles to stick on the perimeter of the back of the badges
There are two flavours of the tape, Permanent (Red Colour) and Yellow (Removable).
Ive attached the side gill emblems with the permanent red tape and can confidently say they aint coming off! unless I use 'crow bar force'.....this actually concerns me if i use the same tape on the paint work for the boot and bonnet.
If i ever need to remove them from these locations Ive got a feeling it will lift the paint too.
I havent re-fixed the bonnet and boot badges yet but i'll be using the yellow "removable" tape/pads for those. I'll keep you posted.

Those from Japan seem to be the bussiness... I like them..

I un-clipped the plastic top surrounds on the wheel caps and sprayed them matt black

Interesting, My '///M' bonnet badge is 82mm and my boot badge is 89mm.
