I've taken the plunge and replaced the badges on my pre FL VRS with FL ones. What do you think looks better and would you do it?

Yeah looks fine

I am changing to the new ones soon, any idea on the part numbers and prices of these?

they look way nicer i think

Can't remember the part numbers and it did take three attempts to get the rear badging correct - apparently due t a bin mix up at central parts! Just ask the dealer for a set for a 59 plate VRS and all should be well.

Be aware you will need to trim the lugs off the one for the front grill (or at least I did) and use Araldite to secure it in place.

Remove the old ones with fishing line. One the badeges are off you can "roll" any remaining adhesive off the paint with your thumb and then use some Vodka to clean the area prior to securing the replacements

Yes but you still need the "Octavia" lettering and the front grille badge. They probably want £90 for shipping too knowing them!

Nip along to the dealer.........
