Hey, hello, i'm from Spain and my english is not very good, i'm in a 406 spanish club too, so i don't participate a lot here (well, my account was deactivated one time and technically this is my first message :cheesy:.

I'm interested in one of that cool badges, the original black/chrome. Are you still selling them?

it is yes frank. get small , i mean very small screwdriver or something similar and get it behind , it will come off that way.

i wanted to fit a new seal behind the badge thats why i removed mine. 8)

just be carefull when taking the bit of the little square bit with the key hole in. this small bit only clips onto the lock behind . if you sprise it a little harder it will come off.

the bit arrowed red i mean. this bit actually clips off the lock. then you can remove the metal pug badge why its off the lock.

I've made a start on removing my badge

In combination of a precision screwdriver, and a stanley knife

Slow process as the top layer keens disintegrating and I have to keep trying to get back behind it

Should have some pics later - i've already took a before, so will do the after later hopefully :cheesy:

anything that lights up blue on the exterior of the car wouidnt be Good,
the Plod wouidnt be happy,
white of front or red on the back is as good as it gets, unless your a Chav they seem to Get away with it,
its getting keen over here even mot wise, my Fiat failed its mot just because a Air-freshner was hanging from the rear view mirror theyd rip the car to bits if they seen any lights that wernt legal colours :(
