paul950 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Bought from Aliexpress, good quality and looks OEM, took about 12 days to arrive and at £2.81 delivered it beats the £10 for the same one on amazon TIP: use Loctite 343 to stop threaded bar possibly coming loose due to vibration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxxxykins Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Nice find, how much did your Viper security cost altogether by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAIDER32 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Nice S badge I've not seen them before, I'm very tempted. Not to be rude, but yours is on upside down, Compare it to an ST/RS badge and the slightly longer end is on the lower left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obnoxious Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I have to say you have a stunning car in terms of appearance. I can tell the vehicle shines already, but have you thought of clay-baring (if necessary), polishing and waxing your car to give a more reflective shine? (Assuming you haven't already.) You can buy a machine buffer fairly inexpensively to DIY. I have to say though, that S badge has added the cherry on top of your already appealing vehicle. Sweet job! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet job! :) Thanks for the compliment I bought it new in October 2015 and in December I had a GETECHNIC Detail clean & C1 Crystal Lacquer applied (5 year warranty), the photos at the top were taken about 3 weeks after it was last cleaned (due to weather/shift work) I try to clean it weekly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your car does shine exceptionally in my opinion from your last photo and seems like a desirable motor, even for those not in the know about cars. I love it haha. Sweet ride haha! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul950 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 No offense taken at all, lol. I actually like cleaning the car but I work permanent nights and in the winter months I either run out of light by the time I get my ar*e out of bed or the weather is just to crap to clean the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul950 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 I put a bit of Loctite 343 on the end of the bar thread that screws into the "S" and then position where you want the badge on your grill and I found there is enough room to hold the nut through the grill to screw onto the threaded bar by rotating the "S" until tight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caz1111 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Does anyone know where to get an S line badge for the back? The EcoBoost original badge doesn't do the car justice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EcoBoost original badge doesn't do the car justice! You can get a genuine one from eBay (amongst other places) both new and used. I’ve found one seller offering new genuine ones for £26. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F192075778683 I’m sure that’ll look great on your car, let us know how it goes. All the best. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
