Post

Hello,

Does anyone know if these clips will secure my newly purchased shiny front badge to the front grille?

(Last one was super glued on!)

Depends on which grill and badge you have?
Standard grill and badge on 1990 will have a clip in badge which you just push in.
Early grills with a thin badge need the clips to hold it on.

Early badge for early grill.

Later badge for late grill. (ignore the strange red colour…)

Thank you mark1gls … Took a couple of pictures to help… Mine certainly doesn't appear to clip in, looks like something else is needed !!

Yes that's not the original grill fitted to the car, that's an early type grill.
You need some clips to hold the badge on but not 100% sure which ones you need.

No worries, I've found some on eBay that claim they are fit for purpose, if not, the search continues  :P
