Spandon Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hi, Wasted a lot of time recently trying to to find a replacement FORD tailgate badge for a 2012 hatch Ecoboost 1L. Most eBay sellers advertise 150x60mm which is slightly bigger than the original. Because the original is set into the plastic trim which holds the tailgate release switch it needs to be more like 146x58? I don't want to rip out the old until I have the new one in hand. Does anyone know what the Ford part number for the correct badge is please (or even the actual correct dimensions)? Grateful for any help.

F0CUE Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I would imagine it's flaked off I see a lot of MK3 badges that are flaked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I would imagine it's flaked off I see a lot of MK3 badges that are flaked. That's what I was thinking, so I was going to suggest masking off the badge and spraying with plastidip then a glossifier. Once that's done apply a gel overlay badge and it will look good as new.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spandon Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Yep, it's flaking. The car has done less than 30K and badge spoils the look. Strangely it looks better in pic than reality... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comares2001 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 This was so common on the MK3 that for a long time Ford were replacing them for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 What do you think of an overlay as an option?I did mine and was really happy with themSent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAIDER32 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Only 2 things bothered me about my new (4 year old) ST back in August, the knackered front wheel nuts and the manky rear badge, I got a rear badge from here (mine was the estate version, link is for Hatch type), £25 seems like a lot for what it is, but I'm happy now. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Ford-Focus-2011-Onwards-Rear-Oval-Ford-Boot-Tailgate-Badge-Emblem-/400503409367 Dimensions and Part Numbers are in the description. Always thought Gel Badge Overlays looked cheesy, but I'm liking the Black/Grey and I'm very tempted. https://www.dmb.uk.com/prod/6821/focus-mk3-pre-facelift-gel-badge-overlays-will-not-fit-st-model 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spandon Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks for the info. It occurs to me that if Ford knew they had a prob with the quality of the originals then it might be rare to find a whole badge that's any use (which is what I was looking for). I assume these later Ford produced overlays might be the only viable replacements? Seems a tad steep for a badge cover though, ouch... Ian is that 'before' pic a solid badge or overlay?

Jonro2009 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I just looked at the price of the DMB badge, that's quite expensive.I paid £15 for the front, rear, 4x wheel and steering wheel badges, plus p&p. You can have any colour, any Font or design you want. Quality is excellent and they don't move once stuck down.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I had the black and silver overlay back in 2015. You'd never know it wasn't original tbf! However, the overlays don't cover the silver edging, which is usually the part that's ruined on the rear badge. Also, the foam kept slowly moving upwards behind my rear badge which was very annoying as seen in this picture! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Photo is just old badge I took off and new replacement, gel badge image was just for reference from website, not bought any yet. If you're not bothered about colour change, I suggest just a new badge for the extra £5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get a badge off without damaging it, see my image. I heated it up to soften the glue but the badge is thin metal and bends very easily.

They seem to be Officially Licensed, maybe they weren't when you got them and they've raised the price for Licencing fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetra58 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Try searching for Ford model Number 2086510. I've just removed my son's with a hair dryer. It is made of very thin metal and has no locating pins it is just double sided taped to the curved surface of the tailgate release cover. Just bought one from eBay £25 145mm x 60mm.

StephenFord Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I know it's been mentioned, but I'm another fan of DMB, my front badge looks factory, and really neatened up the grill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fladavid Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I've now joined "the club" with a knackered tailgate badge. First tried fishing line but it kept snapping after lifting the first quarter of the badge so I dripped a little white spirit around the edges of the badge and left it few days. Today I got the wife's hairdryer, I have no need for one, and on the hottest setting it took about five minutes to get the badge removed. I got a screwdriver behind the badge and gently pulled at it without leaning on the paintwork. I now know what it looks like underneath which presents a problem because I think I'll have to bite the bullet and buy another badly made Ford badge as I assume that these gel badges I've heard about need to be stuck directly over the damaged badge, and now it's in the bin. Does anybody know different or have any links to good quality badges online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee moore Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Ford did do a free badge replacement if your vehicle was less than 10yrs old. Unfortunately they stopped it last year:-(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fladavid Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Just my luck, 9 year old car so would have been eligible! Surely the badges they sell now aren't the same quality as the originals? Terrible of Ford to produce such c##p in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
