Saw this at Chatsworth last year which hopefully gives you an idea of how it looks.

Personally id leave it alone, i like the plain simple uncluttered look, far more discreet

I actually think it looks 'bare' with nothing - each to his own, I guess...

Hi, I put a small enamel TVR badge on mine + a V8 (from a Jag as it was curved and fitted body contour):

I'd thought of doing the same but maybe mounting it above the Chimaera badge,
(perhaps someone could shop that to see what it's like)
As I'm fed up with people driving up my chuff to read the badge :-)

[Apologies for O/T]

Check the blue Chim(?) on the right - spiders, but looks like the arches are extended... Anyone know whose this is..?

Thank,

I must say, for *me* it is a toss up between the plain union jack (gotta get me some of those lights!) and the TVR Union jack.

Both look suitable and (sort of) discreet, filling the back bit nicely.

Not sure about the V8 badge (but I like the Spa and Nring map, Bluebottle) - doesnt look right (and reminds me of my Dads old Rover!)

Nosh.

Oh, I do like the way your arse just squats down. If you'll pardon the expression. Ahem getmecoat

Unless you've got a couple of deceased Frenchies in the boot?

No Frenchies I'm afraid. Just a huge amount of beer, camping gear, food, more beer etc. Basically everything needed to survive at Le Mans for 5 days.

Love the Union Jack badge, where do I get one please?

Mine had two stickers when I picked it up, one naff GB sticker and a Welsh Dragon. Both now sent off to landfill thanks to my hot air gun and some T-cut!

Just a simple but classic chrome on brass "GB" for me.



Tells the French where the fantastic car that just blasted past has come from wink

I must confess that its not really a badge as such. Just a vinyl sticker. Had a load done when we ordered our vinyl from hollographics.com for the groups trip to Le Mans last year and there was one spare, so on it went.

Pretty sure any car vinyl place can knock one up for you. Plus if it ever gets damaged or comes off its very easy and cheap to replace.
