We have been on holiday for a week in Lincolnshire with the Forester.

 

 

 

Apparently some considerate ****** has tried to remove the front grille badge ( unsuccessfully ) and has ended up damaging it. :(

 

 

 

There is no other damage to the bumper or grille to suggest that someone has bumped into the car on a car park, just the badge is cracked and  has three holes in it.

 

 

 

Where would be the best place to buy a replacement badge and is it an easy job to remove whats left of the original badge without causing damage to the grille.

 

 

 

Thanks

I'd have thought the bay would be a good place to start fella

Subaru can sell you one for a price I have a parts diagram somewhere with the p/nn if you need it ,

Morning.

 

 

Thanks for the replies.

 

 

I have looked on Ebay but no luck in finding a suitable badge for my XT as yet.

 

There are some on Ebay but they are a different size to the badge on my Forester.

 

 

 

The size of my damaged oval badge is @ 130 mm x 65 mm or 5 1/8" x 1 3/8".

 

Most on Ebay are 104mm  x 51mm.

 

I found one from a US supplier with a part number but even that looks smaller than my badge and is £ 67.75 including shipping. :o

 

 

 

Was thinking of trying a breakers yard but assume that most would want to sell the complete grille assembly.

 

 

comes in two bits by the looks of things 

I think from a breakers you would be looking at the grill as well, its not worth their time trying to separate the parts

Thanks for the replies.
