New RS front badge on 182

[DazBav]

Had a search but could not find if this had been done. I Had a new style front badge knocking about from my now departed 200 and rather than waste it i would see if i could get it to fit in the lower grill. No chance of the upper as i knew it would look wrong. So the badge comes mounted on a piece of plastic for sticking in the 200. I had to cut four slots,one in each side so it slipped into the grill. Unfortunately i cut the top slot a bit to wide but it was a first effort. Anyhow it does wedge tightly in place but i will get some reg plate pads to stick it in firmly.
Just thought i would share the pics and see what you think?

Looks horrific imo mate. Just looks tacky, like youve found a little chrome badge and stuck it on the front of the car.

 

[DazBav]

I guess i kind of did lol

Lol, it just looks out of place. Again though, thats just my personal opinion mate. Im all about subtle, less is more.

Except the number plate

But to be honest the badge on the front is a nice idea but it doesn't quite work on a clio for me.

Except the number plate

​Correct.

I think it looks alright, from the top pic anyway. maybe put a tad further right so it sits evenly between the number plate and end of the grill

 

[Ghm]

Actually it might work better on the top grille, directly above where it sits the now.

This is what I thought too!

 

[DazBav]

Yeah will tryit further over tomorrow. As said its just wedged in at the mo as I was bored.
No chance of it sitting in the top grill as the grill angles are wrong.
It's not far off from fitting in the other gap between the number plate and top grill.

Leave it off.

Not a huge fan, good idea though in theory!

 

[Nyall]

Not a fan either TBH.

Sorry to piss on your parade but it does look tacky.

The new style RS badges don't suit the Mk2, IMO.

 

[Craig.]

Not on a 182 but I've had one on my ph1 for months now, works really well on the ph1 grill IMO.

 

[James Mk1]

^ looks spot on on the Ph1, not keen on it on the 182 though imo.

Not a fan but does work on the sun flower.

Maybe it would look better on the upper grill. But harder to fasten it there I guess.

 

[Christopher]

Hell no.

 

[DazBav]

Craig - That does look really good on the ph1,gap is spot on for the badge.

Looks spot on
On the Ph1
