Where to stick my badge !

[Tyler Owen]

Just looking for some advice on where to stick the Cupra badge on the Front Grill and the best way to secure it

I was thinking abit lower down and nearer the right hand corner, now i've had a think

Cheers

Oh and do excuse the dirt

Lower right hand corner, for sure. Not too low or too right though, but definitely down there

Cheers for the reply Rob

Any ideas on holding it down ?

I was thinking a blob of tigerseal on the back

i have one with the flag on the right hand edge by headlight half way down the grill
can just see it if you squint on the pic below

I stuck mine in the lower right-hand corner. Looks best there imo.

I used clear sealant (like bathroom/kitchen sealant I think). I attempted superglue first, but no joy. So tried the sealant and it was great. Cos it's thicker and didn't dry that quickly I was able to get it in the right place with enough contact to hold it securely.

Best to do this in a garage at this time of year though. And if possible leave without driving until fully dry (at least 24hrs usually)

Do you mean silicone?

I posted a pic of mine a few weeks back - lower right

Used superglue & it's fine

 

[RikH]

i just stuck mine on with the backing already on it
still there 6 months strong and taken many jetwashes and not moved

Do you mean silicone?

yep, something like that.

I would use Araldite personally. It sets harder than superglue but you mix it as a paste so you can put as much on as you want and position it exactly where you want it, moving and adjusting it a little as you go. Then just hold it in place for a little while (30secs or thereabouts) and it will set and dry. And believe me, no amount of washing, stone chips or anything else will be getting that off!

I used number plate tape

Well, the silicone sealant I used seems good to me. It's on there proper hard and has been for about 9 months. I had some in the house as I was redecorating and so used it; saves buying some Araldite. Someone here recommended I think.

Anyway, seems there's a few ways to get it on. Good luck

Where did you get the badge? Stealers?

Is it a Leon or a Ibiza badge? I had a look for a front grille badge on Ebay but the only one I could find was from abroad and I couldn't be bothered with Paypal and Euros!

I guess the boot badge is just the same? Looks better with the red writing too.
Part No. anyone?? (if you got it from SEAT).

Im taking mine off the back and putting on the grill when I get 5 mins.

 

[RikH]

can get the badges from stealers, but ive had problems with their codes and then the wrong badge appearing

ebay is a good bet for them but you will pay a bit more than dealers

 

[RobM]

There are badges list in the part numbers sticky at the top of this forum.

I took mine off the back. Try and get the Cupra badge with the racing flag; looks sooo much better imo than the badge in the pics above. Bit like the Audi badges

 

[thebeno]

Yes, thats the one I have on the back

 

[ChrisUK]

Be careful - the proper grille badge is NOT the bade with the sticky back - it is a lightweight plastic badge.

I ordered one at the stealers & they got me the rear badge, which they sent back & swapped !!
