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!!



Badge looks fine... :)
Personally I would have left it off, cos car looks smoother and better without it...

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.


Oh no  !
Well, still looks fine.
So if I took my Griffin off my '94 boot lock will I have same thing ??

Looking for a nice minimal smooth look...
