Help with fitting Carbon Badges please

[jamesy1990]

Well got my carbon badges today and was just wondering if any1 could write me a how to for fitting front and back carbon badges as heard that might have 2 take front bumper off dunno if this is true or not or if its easier than what am thinking but help would be much appreciated

Not sure about the back, but for the front I ended up snapping the clips as it was easier and then just glueing the new badge back on! Saves a lot of time and the glue is only like £5 or something!!

Snapping isnt the most practical thing to do, but i am sure the front badge you need to take the bumper off, and the rear you open the boot and there is 3 torx screws you have to undo the back panel

Yes the front badge requires bumper removal if you don't want to snap the clips. From memory it's a few torx bolts under the bonnet, some screws behind the arch liners and then on the undertray. After that, it pulls off easily and reveals the clips behind the front badge.

Rear: Mine is held on by rubber gromets and should pull off the back.

Front:
1. Undo Top Torx bolts on slam panel.
2. Undo Torx screws in arch holding on underarch.
3. Undo 10mm Bolt in arch holding on Bumper to front wing.
4. Undo bottom bolts under the front end, behind the splitter. About 4 10mm Bolts.
5. Undo Torx screws to remove front badge.

Hope it helps

5. Pull corners of bumper away from front wings
6. Slightly lift slam pannel and then pull forwards away from two press-stud clips near the inner corner of lights
7. disconnect fog light wiring if needed
8. Undo Torx screws to remove front badge.

Hope it helps

Added a couple of extras, as it doesnt just fall of once unbolted
To get to the bolt between bumper and arch, turn wheels to ease removal one side, then turn wheels to get the second

[jamesy1990]

how did u slot the badge in after putting the black bit onto it coz on the original the 3 pins bits insert into 3 holes but on urs theres no 3 pin bits :S

 

[jamesy1990]

if that made any sense lol

 

[Karl]

If you remove the rear badge you are then left with a black plug in the boot. You need to remove that and use a strong glue to stick the badge to it. Then once you have done that the plug can go back into the hole and job done.

Just make sure you line the badge up so its in the correct place.
