[General] How to replace a Calais or other badge on your car

[Axleboy]

This is just a simple post about how to replace your Calais badge (or any badge for that matter) with another one.

I did this because the one I had on there previously was coming loose and needed to be replaced as you may or may not see in this picture cos it's not a very choice photo.

All I did was put some tape around the outside of the badge so I knew exactly where to put the new one.

And then I got some tooth floss and basically sawed at it until it came off, and the got some turps and a paper towel and rubbed the excess glue off and the replaced it with a new badge which I got from eBay which you can see here.

On the VX Series 1, they were painted silver-grey. From the design of the badge and the wheels, that's a Series 1 Calais.
