The badge is exactly the same as on the Saloon.
I recently got one in good nick from a scrapyard. Just go looking for 02 to 04 reg 406 saloons on a scrapyard and you'll find one
The part with legs of the lion on the push button simply pops off too, so no need to take the whole lock.

Mainly taxis I must say. All front ended.
I found an 03 plate burnt out and a few 02 and 04 plates with hefty front end damage. Found a badge in good nick though
and my first proper mod for the coop: Silver interior door handles

Wish it was like that here, I'd have to ring small ads in the Blue Advertiser

Somewhat on and off topic:
Was missing the i out of HDi, so was driving round in a high definition 406 for a while....
Peugeot were looking about £12 for an HDi badge, £3 from Citroen, same font and size.

Whilst doing a search last night, on a german forum I translated, some guy simply split the badge apart, and polished up the chrome and then the plastic, and sealed back up and job done
