I have just ordered a new design griffin badge for the back of the mig. do the original badges tend to come off easy or are they a pain?
-
The little sh*t that nicked my badge seemed to have no problem....
I need to sort a replacement for mine just haven't got round to it, Anyone breaking an estate have a spare badge give me a shout :y
-
I have one here mate...thing you just need to hair dryer the badge off :)
-
I am hoping the new one looks ok, its a bit larger than the original.
80mm vs 95mm
You can have mine for the postage if it comes off in one piece! :y

OK badge came today, got it on but I think its too low. I'm really annoyed with myself. I was concentrating so much on keeping it level and centered I misjudged the up and down!!
What do you think, does it look ok or would you pull it off an start again bearing in mind i'm pretty sure i'd have to buy another badge!!

Cheers for the comments at least you don't think it looks wierd, but you can't leave it off as there are 2 holes left behind when you take the old one off.

Looks very good :y
