Or you could go the stealth route and completely de-badge her?? :smiley:

Doesnt look right on the standard grille as it would leave a big black "splodgey" area where the badge would clip on and just looks rubbish.



so true !

Many years ago in London there was a similar craze for nicking VW badges and using them with a chain as a trendy necklace.

Before the days of CCTV and secure parking there were few deterrents, but one commonly-used ploy was to tape one of these to the back of the badge :
