chrisjw Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm thinking of getting one of these ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292126293004?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ), but having read previous posts, it appears to be a bit of a pigs ear to fit to the honeycombe grille. I stumbled across this video & was wondering if anyone has done it this way, as it seems a simple solution. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_fairfax Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Do you have long skinny fingers? I managed fine without removing anything mate. Just attach the screw to the badge, feed the plate through the grille and onto the screw. Then pinch the nut with two of your fingers and align it with the screw. Then just keep turning the s badge until the nut tightens enough. Was fiddly to be fair but I managed fine without removing anything 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Am thinking of getting the S badge to put on the front lower bumper grill. By the looks of the video you have to tighten the back plate to secure it. difficulty probably would vary depending on where you want to place it as you would need access to put the plate at the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Wait. Does the Zetec S not come with the badges already fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Extremly easy to do :) Just don't drop anything or you're in for some fun The gaps in the honeycomb are more than big enough to slide the parts and your fingers through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I bought an S badge from my front grille. Stuck it on with 3M VHB (very high bonding) tape - to this day, it has not budged! >> AliExpress Bargain Right Here << Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjw Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 It arrived today & it's now fitted. It was straightforward. I screwed the thread onto the badge, slid on the bracket & a spring washer & then the nut, pushed it through the grille, positioned the bracket correctly & then spun the badge until tight. Really pleased with it.......... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon I picked up a rubbish quality one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave the bolt & plate a good waxing & then coated it in vaseline before fitting, but I would imagine rust is difficult to avoid over time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
