badge for my car

Emblems are decorative elements identifying the vehicle’s make. At the front, this item is usually placed on the radiator grille or bonnet and at the rear – on the boot lid or tailgate.

7 tips on how to use and replace them

1. Manufacturers do not limit the service life of these car parts, therefore, replace them as defects occur.
2. Clean the part with a soft brush and soapy water. Most of them can withstand an automatic car wash.
3. If the part is extremely dirty, use a special agent which is compatible with the material it is made of.
4. If the part is attached to the car with double-sided adhesive tape, then heat the contacting surface before the mounting. This way, the emblem will be more securely attached. This is especially important if the replacement is done at a low ambient temperature.
5. Mind that the part can be fastened with screws. If there are no special holes for it, you’ll have to make them.
6. During part replacement, be careful and do not use unsuitable tools for dismantling. Otherwise, you risk damaging the paintwork. After removing the old element, clean thoroughly the area that was under it.
7. If you want to decorate your car not with the logo of its manufacturer but with another decorative element, make sure this does not contravene the law of your country.

Malfunctions of emblems, their causes and symptoms

• Mechanical damage to the fasteners. In most cases, it is caused by acts of vandalism, car accidents, careless parking. The car part will have free play. Besides, since it isn’t securely attached, it can be lost.

• Fading in the sun. It is characteristic of some items made of plastic. The car part loses its original colour.
