blubayou Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Hi all, 20 years ago when I restored my MK4 Spitfire, I fitted the neat bonnet badge but left off the rear side badges, mainly because they required holes drilled in my new wings. I also left off the British Leyland badges on the bonnet sides as they were a reminder of Marinas, 1100s & all things poor quality. All these years on, these old cars gain more respect with every new battery operated car produced. What are peoples feelings? Few seem to fit them.

dougbgt6 Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 I had new wings on my car 25 years ago, I went to pick it up and spotted no Leyland badges. I asked and they said "We assumed you didn't want them, most people don't" Such was Leyland's reputation back then. I still have them in a drawer.

Stratton Jimmer Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 I too have BL badges on my GT6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB350Z Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 I had BL badges on my GT6 but PO removed them. He thoughtfully stored them in a jar that came with the boxes of parts so when my resto is done they'll be going back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubayou Posted November 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 I think I too shall refit my British Leyland badges, after all they are original (mounting dimensions anyone???). Has anyone fitted the rear wing badges without drilling? I siliconed my rear chrome in place 20 years ago & its still fixed on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
