I think I'd also like to see another design drawing of the proposed badge to confirm it will actually fit the regular octagonal plinth of the MG7 grill. The drawing posted recently wouldn't fit IMO.

Hmm.. I'd take another look at that.

There's no such thing as 'hectagonal' and the MG badge is in fact a regular (equal sided) octagon (8 sides). Sorry to be pedantic, but the proposed badge design drawings weren't of a regular octagon. It was irregular (different length sides) and alternate sides were curved. That wouldn't fit properly (IMO) within the MG7 plinth.

I do stand corrected TC, shows how much attention I pay to MG's

The octagonal badge is just as hard to get wrong as a pair of compasses is not needed, it is quicker however, and the same basic principle

Rob, you really need the manufacturer to make a bare plate so a pic can be taken of it in the recess for size accuracy

I have contacted Tom at the manufacturers to see what can be done for a test fit and will give you an update in due course

Hi Eamonn -I believe that Steve is trying to fit the MG7 grille today if he gets the time but if not today will not be long

The worry I have is that this badge (which isn't regular)

wont fit nicely in the regular octagonal plinth on the MG7 grill. The badge design also has alternate curved edges. IMO, if it does go in, it will look untidy around the edge.

Hi TC. When I get time in the next day or two I will measure for regularity on both the opposite and adjacent vertices at both their points and rounded vertices. If i have a hour or two free I will cut out a template from some 2mm alloy plate I have
