Silver Forester 2.5 XT Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 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.

Silver Forester 2.5 XT Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 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.

Jay762 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I think from a breakers you would be looking at the grill as well, its not worth their time trying to separate the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
