The new 'Mondeo duct tape bumpers?' - Insignia front badges
Discussion
Now that 99% of the MK1/MK2 Mondeos have followed their traditional Ford path into scrapyards through excessive rust, you start to miss seeing their duct taped bumpers.
I'd like to propose the Vauxhall Insignia and their missing front badges as their replacement. What makes it even more impressive is that it exposes the Opel badge underneath.
Here are a few examples:

Saw an insignia with missing badge yesterday. Didn't realise it was such a common phenomenon.
Yep, everywhere. Vectras and before had the badge as an integral part of the grille (along with the 'V-grille' chrome-ish styling feature rather than the straight bar on Opel versions), but to save money on producing a unique grille for the Insignia, the badge was glued on. No kidding. GM cheapening at its worstThis was a good study into the Mondeo phenomenon:

When I took my gaffa-adorned mondeo for it's mot, he advisory note said 'it has been noted that a temporary repair has been made to the bumper with tape' and I thought come on mate, we both know that's not temporary.
Have given up getting new bumpers. Am now looking for blue gaffa tape
