Sorry mate, I wrote too fast! I've seen it just after. Thanks. Ordered. I'll put them on my original Rover sandstone ones that are deprived of the logo. I've the logo on the headrests but I guess that the carpets were bought afterwards.

Thanks for the link to the badges. I ordered some and they arrived very quickly.
The OP explains about "melting" the pile from the mat where the badge is destined to go. Is that what others have done too? And sticking with silicone? Have others used different adhesive? thanks

My stepdaughter once asked if the reason for everything having the Rover badge on was that the old people that drove them kept forgetting what car they actually owned.

Thanks I have just ordered a set as well, I bought some a few years back to do this job but the badges were not the correct colour, perhaps that is unfair they were not the colours I was expecting. What kind of glue / adhesive did you use I had been going to use evo stick contact adhesive. The red tin, I used this some years ago with the old Caravan when some carpet tiles came my way, I fitted very high quality carpet tiles to the Caravan floor, with the dropped step entrance and landing area having some anti static dirt trap tiles. It was a fantastic job, quality I could not have afforded if I had had to pay for them, the contract price was £73 per square meter with the dirt trap ones coming in at £132 per square meter. As I say I used evostick red contact adhesive. But would love to find a less smelly way to glue the patches on. That will be my last set of sandstone quality rover car mats used like you the drivers mat has a logo stitched into it but the rest are just plain thick pile mats.

Finally I haven't put the flashy badges on my original sandstone mats.
Too much difference bearing in mind that the original badges were tone on tone which I think is much smarter & classier. And I didn't want to spoil my genuine mats rubbing the thickness of them & stick the badges with glue. As I'd bough a beige complementary headrest to make my nape more comfortable, I asked my wife to sew one badge on it. Same move for 2 other cushions, one for my wife - worrying to be too low in the car - and one for myself to match the level with the nape rest. The fourth being sewn on a waistcoat of mine. I'm happy with that solution. I had better to keep the 75 as authentic as she was when going out of Cowley.

You're quite right @hrissim each on their own, and I'm a bit old fashioned as you've seen.
Badges on cushions? Nothing very exciting or original! But your wish is my command... Deceived? Likely. The aim was not at all to be stunning but comfortable for my poor back.
