Title: Fixing 500 side cover badges
Post by: sye on July 03, 2019, 02:12:03 PM

I have had the side covers painted and need to reattach the badges but both have a short end peg where it's been snapped previously. They were glued to the panel where the short peg was and I don't want to do this for obvious reasons.

Has anyone found a succesful way of either extending the peg or attaching the badge without using glue. Doubtful I know, but if I can avoid £70 for a new pair I will. TIA

what's wrong with gluing them?

If I need to remove one for any reason at a later date it will take the paint off with it.

I have fixed them with clear silicon.

Now that's a good idea, thanks.  8)
