....and here I am removing badges!
I have taken 3 off the badge bar as an experiment on radiator efficiency. No overheating but fan kicks in in traffic etc as the heat soak triggers the switch. I left badges on the extreme ends as they don't "obstruct".
The car looks decluttered which is appealing to me.
I have taken off my Taffmog, MSCC badge, 100 Anniversary badge.
Car is a Plus8 with a Morgan Al rad. As fitted for a previous owner.
I thought of fitting the spare badges to the luggage rack but my mounts are too big ( rack is narrower dia tubing) but don't want to add a rear badge bar.

You could use some rubber hose around the rack to change the effective diameter and this will also protect the rack.

May do that, Richard.
I will have a look this week. I am not "into" badges sp perhaps a couple but no more. I don't want to get a busy or cluttered look.

Maybe consider removing the badge bar, fit the badges then refit the badge bar,it might be easier?

I needed a badge clip to fit the luggage rack for fitting a high level brake light. I found one on eBay which was meant for a scooter.

My badgebar is as low as possible without major surgery.
I am tempted to remove it to declutter the car front.
Contemplating a stick on number on wing and new valance (Wolf type)
The photo shows car with all badges on, but now has 2 only. One at either end of the bar leaving the grill unobstructed.

It was the carpark on top of A4069 Black Mountain Road in December! It rained.
aerotaff is parked just out of sight.
Ray...I am not into budgie smuggling.
Lynne is sitting in the car with a lapfull of water. We went through a puddle, it splashed up onto the screen and rhrough the hood/frame gap. She screamed then laughed. My side was dry... laugh2
It was our first run in heavy rain and fhe Llangadog area roads were flooded by the Tywi breaking its banks. We couldn't get to Llandovery.
