Twee or not to twee That is the question
Never been sure if badges are a wee bit twee for me - is that the right word, twee?
Hold on - Oxford Dictionary say
"excessively or affectedly quaint, pretty, or sentimental: although the film’s a bit twee, it’s watchable"
Maybe. Anyway, twee or not, decided to go for it.

Very twee with that white rose badge. Now if it was red it would not be twee

I had similar thoughts and decided I wanted to "wear" my WA Morgan badge!
Yours looks smart...

It's addictive. I set out wanting none, Then I wanted two, then I wanted five. At the last count I have seven..........

A chacun son goût  Just watch the temperature gauge though, badges can cut the airflow through the radiator.

Ah well, my (slightly tacky) spoiler diverts air at the bottom tank, so no overheating problems (so far)!!!!!

My bar is 'upside down' which lowers the badges (and puts their mounting screws below the bumper top line, though it probably wont stop some muppet trying to steal them at some stage...) reducing the interference with airflow. I guess the next stage might be to concoct some form of spoiler.

Has anybody had their badges nicked?  They are expensive but useless to anyone else - I suppose you could flog them on eBay.
