Some theiving little scrote stole the badge off of the front of my car last night!!

Luckily, they haven't scratched it, but just left the foam backing.

Onto ebay for a new one I guess...

Cheers Al - just had a look and seems to have been stuck on by two blobs of black silicone - there are no visible bolts heads under the hood, unless they are under the heat reflective stuff.

Think I will invest in a bolted on one!

Might be best not to Bob.

If they come back again and think the new badge is stuck on how much damage could they do trying to prize it off?

Best just connect it to the mains supply.

I put a Porsche emblem sticker on the bonnet of the 914 rather than a badge.. if thievery is a worry, then perhaps a decent quality TVR logo sticker in the right size would fill the gap.

Perhaps you could get a nice new one, and fit it to the upper left corner of the grille (as seen on a piccie of the prototype Chim, its very effective).

You could also wire it to an invertor, with 5Kv across it when the alarm is on Wouldn't kill, but it would give a hell of a belt.

You've thought about that too much!

sounds like an idea to me!

Might be a good excuse to move the number plate to the bonnet to aid air flow though...

Is that legal?

Hmm... reminds me of the days the Beastie Boys... scrotes whipping VW badges...

First one nicked.... replaced but with razorblades between grille slats (fingers thru' grille to prise out badge)..... badge still there, but with added crimson hue

Check the prices at your nearest dealer first. The same thing happened to me (badge nicked) and I paid less than £20 for a shiny new one at TMS...they rarely go for less than that on EBay.

porker badges secured with 2 mini bolts through hood, but a proximity alarm, seems to have paid off, as last badge, (although not screwdrivered off)
