I appreciate the maxim that less is more it be though that this is a tad too subtle....   I will live with it for a while and maybe it'll grow on me.  If not it's only a couple of UKP's so it be pulled off and replaced.

Thoughts and ideas appreciated, as always.

Mr Smiley.

PS
Oh and the car fairly flies along with the new badge  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

MMMmmm... I expected someone else to make that comment  :Shocked:....

But yes it is slightly off true, in real life it's not as easily noticable, I'll see how I feel as we progress.  As I say, I may take it off altogether and go for the suoerduper all shiny chrome jobby...

We'll see.... :winker: :winker: :winker: :winker:

We don't get the edition badge over here I think it would look better place where the edition badge is ..

or maybe on the other side under the Hyundai badge ...

Yeah thanks Dazz....  I have had a few thoughts...  initially I thought to have the Sport badge before the edition badge so that it reads as 'Sports Edition'.....

I can use the boss's hair drier to get it off I guess, what adhesive do you use to reapply it?   But thanks for the input, and it will get moved pretty soon...  I have to stare at it for a while, I guess you know how annoying us old buggers can be  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for the input Steve, it's growing on me.  Perhaps needs taking off and reapplying 'STRAIGHT' and final fitting  :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

You can just clean off the tape they used and use some neutral cure silicon but you would probably have to hold it in place with a bit of plastic insulation tape until it dries a bit (or carefully lift the hatch up and leave it up for 10 or 20 minutes until it sets...) :D

Does putting a "sports" badge on a car somehow make it more "sporty" than stock?   :undecided:

Just curious... :confused:

You don't have TPMS do you Russ??

If so make sure you use copperslip on the valve stem or you could end up with broken valves :Shocked:

Spoken from experience :whistler: :whistler: :whistler:

I would have thought that the Edition would have had that, but the valves look like bog standard valves to me ???????? :question: :question:
