Phew! lol, if its a dark car, they look better without the extra badges i think, although it makes all other drivers with smaller engines look at ur car...

Cleaned all the crap off and got the new gromits in, then gave the new badge a damn good bashing to get it on lol, looks good now that the cars all polished, you can really tell the difference. Cheers for the help guys...

Glad it all worked out.
