I read in an article about cooling problems that badges should be avoided.
So I've had a badge bar fitted and can't wait to start hunting for suitable adornments. I agree that they should be "earned" though. Strangely the IAM don't do them for badge bars anymore
Probably not on +8. The badge bar on RTA is mounted upside down - the bar sits below the bumper, thus reducing the effect on cooling (but the bar has to come off for any adjustments/changes to badges).
IAM - I have a green badgee, but no longer have a bike to mount it on...
Badges are pretty difficult to mount on modern cars...
Cheers,
