As far as I'm aware they're individual letters as opposed to a "solid" badge aren't they?If you bought a "badge" from Vx then the likelihood is that they'd come on a strip of backing paper so that you'd stick them on all in one go.No idea of prices I'm afraid.Failing that take a slim bladed implement to a breakers yard and peel them off a Vauxhall [are they all the same size?]clean them up and stick them to your car.

PFL common to various 90s Vxs... FL, strangely, unique to the Omega.

However, I'd spot the difference, but many people would probably not give it a second look. Especially as many makes practice using a different font for the model name to the manufacturer.

Get someone to measure the distance between the V and L, (and the distance from the bottom of the bootlid) then acquire some off a breaker, cut your own sticky foam (couple of quid on ebay for a roll of 3M stuff) make a template. (otherwise known as any old shatterproof rule sellotaped to the bootlid) and you're done  :)



In my days owning a FL I did consider replacing the Omega's script with the later style (which is still used I think) acquiring the letters for 'OMEGA' would require a FL Signum or Insignia badge, the only models to use a 'G' other letters from Corsa Vectra Astra easier to source etc.
