It almost sounds like this has been discussed before... :p

I've recently fitted a mk2 vRS badge to the front of my SE.

When fitting, i was expecting the original backing plate to come off with the badge. Thankfully (I think...) it did not, so I have attached the new badge to the original backing plate. I had to use some number plate tape as the new grille badge is not self adhesive. I think it looks ok, but slightly sticks out a little where it is not directly attached to the grille slats, due to a couple of layers of plastic.

I'm sure that I'll get some feedback at the forthcoming Kent meet, and it's attachment may need revising.

Re: the rear badge, this is self adhesive and I put it on in place of the original (I.e. Right hand side of boot lid). I now think that it may look a little weird as all the current vRS models have it positioned on the left side, so am contemplating moving it....

Was it the latest facelift vRS badge you fitted?? I fitted the vRS badge from an original pre-facelift OctyII rather than the facelift and it came with a sticky pad on the inside of the badge and also a new backing plate which i araldited onto the grille.

If it was a pre-facelift it looks like they might have changed them then...... Or was it not bought from a dealer?

It is the latest badge Dave and yes, both front and rear were purchased from a dealer.

The rear is self adhesive, but the front is not. The front badge has a black plastic backing plate already attached, which has spaced indentations on it. I assume that these are designed to line up with, and be attached to the new style grille slats. But they do not line up with the mk1 grille slats, so I found it easier to attach the entire badge and plate to the original backing plate.

Right makes sense then. Looks like, with the facelift badge, they've tried to save a tiny amount of money on each badge by removing a small bit of sticky pad.

The one thing i do like about the pre-facelift OctyII vRS badge is that the coloured sections are reflective and it looks great when parked up and is lit up by headlights of passing cars.

I also re-used my original vRS grille badge by moving it to the engine cover.......

Here's some pics of the pre-facelift OctyII badge in daylight and then lit up by the camera flash and also what i did with my old grille badge......

Cheers

i done mine the same way pretty much, only i have the badge shown at the top of the post i used a steel rule to pull the original off which left the backing plate which was good as it allowed me to line it up i then sanded down the backing plate to give me a good surface for sticking to. i then removed the new badge from the pack and again used a belt sander to file off the slots on it used for lining it up on the new grill which obviously didn fit mine lol after it was sanded and flat i applied a small piece of glue to the original backing plate and stuck it on. looks brill tbh, makes the car look alot fresher. i also have the new rear badge but dont think it will be going on as it doesnt equate with the "fabia" badge so will keep original which i like anyway tbh, the to badges match wel as now the front and rear have the letters rs

Wilsy - lose the fabia badge and the new vRS badge really freshens the rear up

im going to get my new grille badge tomorrow, the part number listed on this topic seems to be for a different style. - im after the part number for the one in the picture below if anyone has it. thanks

Just ask the dealers for a front grille vRS badge from the current facelift Octy vRS.
