996 Bonnet Badge Removal

[F3RNANDO]

Advice as per the title please guys.

I need to remove and refit my bonnet badge, what is the best way? TIA

I believe that if you lift up the bonnet you'll find a hole where the badge is held in place and you'll see 2 plastic screw on fasteners which you would need to remove. Sorry this isn't very technical but I think it's quite a simple job.

There are 2 holes - one for each fastener - but they are quite deep and not very wide. I'm sure there is a special OPC tool - lemy guess £50 plus vat??

Think it's a 10mm nut, just use 1 of those screw driver type drives. That's the easy bit anyway, try getting that rubber gasket back on after! A tip from a Porsche tech is to submerge the gasket in hot water first to make it pliable.


Edit to add I used something like this, no idea what it actually is though, have a set of 3???

I just used a deep socket and no special magic to swap the badge over.
