    hows the front badge put on. is it the same as the back as in does it have the little things that stick out i wouldnt have thought so lol anyway if it is put on the same as the other badges on the car i think its easier to buy a new one cause its already got the glue shit on the back lol sorry if this makes no sense

    yeah its just a glue thing was hoping i could just reuse this one as its still in good condition .
    im sure if i just used silicone it would just look sh£$ty but i mite just give it a go anyway or i will just clean it up and leave it off but then it just dosn't look rite

    on the hsv badge i have on mine it had an almost double sided tape thing on it, so maybe try that. havent had a problem with paint work with it.

    or you can get another one from holden for about 30$ maybe cheaper if you know a nice dealer

    A little bead of silastic will do the trick. Use a cotton bud soaked in petrol to clean any excess off that may squeeze out, if too much silastic is used.

    they all have double sided tape. if your good and patient you could try cutting some out to the shape.

    Some clear silastic would be easier and cheaper if you have some around already don't need much. use some masking tape to hold it down while it drys.

    Stick a Ford badge in place. Its probably the only thing thats worth more than the car it came from.

    booo trying to get a bite, try harder homer.

    ps: the only value of a ford is dependant of how much fuel is in it.
