Some scumbags pried the front badge off my car and had a go at taking the rear badge off as well. They couldn't get the rear one off and just ended up making a mess.

Does anyone have approximate prices for badge replacements?

Front one looks like an easy job but I assume the rear is gonna require taking things apart?

Sorry to hear this frown

Actually think the rear is quite easy to replace as someone I know replaced his with a black worded one and didn't mention it being at all difficult. I think it may be barbed so after removing a new one is needed each time... Will ask him the details!

B@r5t@rds!
not nice at all.

front badge is about £120 + VAT - single bolt near top and sticky back on it.

Would have thought rear very similar.

See eurospares.co.uk - quick choose menu - badges

Thanks guys.

Hoping the marks will come out, had a detail booked fortunately.

Can't see to find any badges on eurospares so will call Lambo tomorrow.

Would appreciate it if you could let me know about installation on that rear badge Mattthumbup

That sucks. I consider myself a pretty well-balanced, calm chap but things like this REALLY annoy me. Total lack of respect, usually some uneducated scrat that seems to think we're handed these cars on a plate. Hope you get it sorted and doesn't prove too expensive. One consolation is that if they're prepared to steal Lambo badges it says what sort of person they are - and you can bet your bottom dollar that your life is immeasurably better/happier than theirs! They sit at home with a stolen (probably slightly bent) Lambo badge while you have the real thing, complete and paid for. Well, almost complete.

Sorry to hear this, scum, utter scum

Rear badge is just bonded on with double sided tape, a bit of heat from a hair dryer and a bit of tugging and it should come off

There are also two plastic posts that go through the rear panel with spring clips holding the badge on in addition to the foam tape.

Thanks Pau1, I'll have a look at it later I assume you have to access the clips from the inside?

Rather surprisingly the police are coming round this evening to take finger prints etc, I doubt anything will ever come of it but who knows.

If anyones interested I've been quoted at £139.00 for the front badge and £86.23 for the rear. Expensive but I'd prepared myself for worse!

Sorry to hear about your scumbag encounter. I've just bought a 2012 bicoloure, had many flash cars, nothing quite like this though.

First trip out in it was tarnished a little, as upon our return (Parked up in Sandbanks) we were greeted by the image of a filthy Chav taking a picture, i'm quite use to this, and it's never a problem, in fact, it's always a proud moment seeing others admire your car, the issue here was that his girlfriend was sitting on the front wing posing for the shot, and unfortunately for my new Lamborghini she was a little on the plump side. By the time we'd walked up to the car they'd walked off, fortunately no damage, and just for measure I gave the lifting gear a stretch as so to correct any unevenness that may have occurred.

Aghhhh yikes, badges stolen, what a bunch of wa#%#€s! Where abouts in the uk were you parked?

Norfolk in a secure car park, they climbed over the electronic gates to get it. In this part of the world a white and black bicolore sticks out quite a lot.

Hope you get it all sorted soon Sam.
