This might seem like a stupid question but how do you change the badge on the boot? I've got a replacement from eBay that looks much better than the one on that moment but I can't seem to get the old one off the bit that its stuck to and I'm worried about slipping and scratching the paint. Any tips?

I did try searching but couldn't find any posts about actually removing it.

Many thanks,

Andy

Undo the two mall nuts from inside the boot and it comes right off. Watch for the springs and dropping the nuts down the cavity.....

Hi can you tell me if you have bought just a badge or a full replacement as I would like to change mine as it looks a little tired, also can you take a photo of the finished job

It's just the badge not the holder as well. Was only about £8 off eBay and looks decent. Will post pics when I've done it.

The badge on the back of my tamora is cast. The sticker I've got just stuck over the top of the badge. Nice easy change for a few quid. IT will do until I can get the cast one refurbed.

I'll post some pics.

Leven (now at PPC) do a refurb service I think with resin filling for 39.99+VAT. They'll be doing mine when I get round to it.

Guys,

Just to add that Leven did a great job of refurbishing my Tamora Badge, looks fantastic now.

(just don't bank on a quick turnaround)

Very nice. Thanks for the pic. Think I will be going down this route myself.
