Default Rear Rover badge for the 75 tourer

Looking for a Rover 75 rear badge for the tourer. The one on the chrome light bar. Needs to be in top condition.

Rocking horse poo I'm guessing

Give me the page/ref number please. I've been on Rimmers for hours over the last few days and can't see it.

Actually been looking for a good plinth as well. just for the badge. Have a couple of saloon badges but they are slightly smaller, around the same size as arjan's lateral thought so may end up doing that.

Hi Tim,we did a thread on this about 18months ago it is possible to carefully prise the old layer of laquer off and re-apply several new coats untill the required depth of shine is acheived,it looks very effective.

Funny you mention that was looking at it today and think I can get the top surface off, but am I a steady eddy to try and put the red back on the sails. May give it a go.

the paint underneath is probably ok its the laquer that gives it a shine.
