Where should I place new rear badge? (if at all...)

[StephenFord]

I got it in my head to change the look of my rear badging. Took the original chrome lettering off, and was about to put the new satin black badge I got. But I'm now in a minor dilemma. I quite like the de-badged look! Any opinion on whether to leave it de-badged, or locate new badge where original was, or where the newer Focus has it located?

By the way, I know many will find this whole post abhorrent on changing a badge, so if this is you, feel free to move on, I get enough abuse at home without getting it here 🤣

How about centrally below the number plate, in line with the Ford oval...

If it was mine I'd leave it debadged though.

I went with a satin black version of the Focus badge on mine, just put it in the same place 👍

My vote goes for the new Focus location. Any chance you could get some magnetic tape for the back of the badge? Then you could try it out and see what looks best before making it permanent. Or even just have it in a different location every day if the magnet's strong enough.

No magnetic tape, but a big pack of BluTac should do the job for a try out, nice suggestion!

Put the badge on !!!

I like cars to have badges, and the FOC likes to give badges 👍

Individual letters like the new version might be another option and would fit nicely on the lower part of the hatch under the number plate.

LOL, you obviously don't know me, I'm one of the tightest owners on here! I already spent money on a new badge, it would kill me to spend more money on something else 🤣

Apologies @StephenFord perhaps I should keep my thoughts and proposals to myself in future.

I de-badged my MK2 and thought it looked much better.

A bloke in a hand car wash de-badged my Mk3. I can't say I was impressed.☹️

Had a similar dilema that lasted all of 3 seconds, needed to replace a headlight as misted internally, scrappy had a pair of black inners so went with the pair, rude not to LOL.

Ended up dechroming the whole front end, apart from the bonnet lock badge and when i decide on an option i think that'll go as well. Kinda looks meaner especially with the Panther Black Metallic paint.
