BadgeReplicas badges are cast from a casting metal, harder than alloy but still slightly flexible. All metal badges are chromed or gold plated, and painted with two-pack enamels or automotive lacquers. They replicate, as closely as possible, the original factory item in size, shape, color and finish. However, due to slight shrinkage of the metal during the casting process, some badges may not exactly fit the mount points, for both screw mounted and push-in types. Many badges have been modified to take this shrinkage into account, so that they will fit easily without modification

Badge Replicas - BADGE FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Read BEFORE fitting!!
 
Badge Replicas badges have been produced to replicate as closely as possible the original factory item in size, shape, colour, and finish. However, due to slight shrinkage of the metal during the casting process, some badges may not exactly fit the fixing points, for both screw-mounted and push-in types.
 
Screw-on type Metal Tank Badges
These badges are easily stolen (just a screwdriver is required!), so this method actually improves security. Affix the badge using double-sided automotive adhesive tape (available from most auto stores) or silicone glue, ensuring the tape/glue is used only in the recess on the back of the badge. One screw can be used as normal, the other should have the thread removed and the head glued (epoxy or silicone glue) to the badge.
 
Push-in type Metal Tank Badges
As above, but one of the pegs may need to be removed.
 
Screw-on Plastic Tank Badges
Plastic badges are made from a flexible Perspex-like material, pre-shaped exactly as per the OEM originals. Please use a thread lock compound on the fixing screws, and tighten to ‘just firm’. Excessive tightening may cause cracking around the badge holes. NB auto paint polishes can be used on the exterior of plastic badges.
 
Sidecover Badges
The sidecover badge fixing holes may need to be extended slightly with a small round file. Automotive tape or silicone glue may  be used to affix badges, with or without fixing clips.
 
Bending to Shape
You may need to bend these badges to fit exactly. In order to avoid any cracking of paint finishes, pre-heat the badge in a  low oven. Be very careful to bend no more than necessary, and use finger strength only.

Badges will fit like OEM badge in most cases. In cases where they do not, these instructions will ensure your badges are installed securely.
