Refixing existing external badges

[stevenkeyte]

Following the fitting of a replacement front wing, I now need to re-fix the existing 'V6' badges to the wing.
Obviously, the badges I recovered from the original wing are now missing the original adhesive, so what is the best product to use to re-attach the badges?

3M double sided tape is the best I have come across, but it needs to be fixed when temperatures are higher than they have been recently.

We have 3M VHB tape at work, I would imagine that'll do the job then

Were they an original fitment ? My v6 doesn't have them on the front wing

Apparently they where on some of the cars, mine has 'V6' badges under both front side repeaters, but nothing on the rear.
I'm going to get in contact with the original owner (I'm the second owner from new) and ask if he put the badges on, but I have seen at least two others, with the same style of V6 badging, it's an almost italic script rather than the ones which are now for sale from Rimmers, item 13 here:

Interestingly, the Rimmer parts listing indicates that two of the V6 badges are required, but the illustration does not indicate the positioning on the vehicle

A couple of years back I returned what Rimmers supplied because they are different to the 'font' style originally fitted to the R75 (which are NLA); they do still occasionally come up for sale on the internet. At some point during production the V6 was removed from the boot lid and placed below the front side repeaters - 1 for 2!! which was definitely not the usual Pheonix philosophy

I got this (or similar) off Ebay a few years ago, fearsome adhesive. Need to be sure of the positioning as its a bugr to get the badge off again!

Steve,
That looks similar to the 3M 'Press & Place' which I have seen recommended on other forums,
