Boot Badge
Planning on sourcing a boot bade and non badged chrome trim for the saloon. My question is for those that have retrofitted these parts. Do you drill the boot lid for the two lugs or have people just fitted the badge with adhesive and removed the lugs from the badge?

I carried out the same retrofit a few months ago without a template. From what I recall I zoomed in on an image of a PPD boot, measured the height of the badge and the gap between it and the plinth on the screen, converted them into ratio's, measured the actual badge that I was about to fit, then calculated the gap accordingly.
I used a similar method to calculate the exact position of torpedo badges prior to fitting. |
