Anyone have or know where to buy the rear badges? My car has been stipped of all badges, most probably by the plod when they had the car, they were there once upon a time because I can just see on the paintwork of the boot lid the faintest outline of 'Omega_3.0_MV6'  - looked on fleabay but only the smaller engine badges are available  :( Also, did the pre-facelift mv6 have the 'MV6' badges on the side trim of the front doors like the newer mv6's?
 I called my local stealer, and they said they are special order for a 1999 car and would take upto 6 weeks to arrive  >:(

Are you sure, Estates the same?
Mine is totally badgeless
where the mv6 label would go the plastic is not big enough to take lettering

just like this one on AT (even the same colour) just mine has no rear badges either, just the griffin

maybe the rear has, but have seen others exactly the same, certainly no room on the plastic strip for any at all.

Ahh just looked at mine, no room either for the door badges, but wonder if the facelift badges would look ok above and stuck to the paintwork just above the trim? Im sure i've seen the facelift with the badges fixed above the trim,  Anyone got pics of a pre facelift with the trim badge..... might be worth trying to source a new trim with the badge already in as i'd like it to look as standard as possible without the 'boy racer look'  :P

Is it worth the effort (unless your strips are knackered anyway)?

Nah my strips are A1 condition, but i'd rather have the car looking as standard as possible, though now you say 'is it worth the effort' im thinking its gonna be difficult to swap them around?
