Default Placement of 'Turbo' Badge

Can someone please measure for me the distance between the right side tail light and the bottom of the 'urbo' and then the distance between the 'o' and the seam between the quarterpanel and the rear panel?

My badge is currently misplaced and I'd like to right it.

Thanks!

- Neal

Bump... I'd be forever indebted if someone would grab a tape measure and post the result. My Turbo badge is, inexplicably, placed on the wrong side and slightly crooked. Please help me right this injustice -- I'm afraid that God will kill yet another kitten if this doesn't get fixed soon.

I just guestimated the placement based on pictures and probably gave it a little more thought than the factory by placing it closer to the center, so the drain hole from the hatch does not fill the badge with ugly junk.

Do you have any side pictures of your car? I'm not sure if I like the 968 wing or not on the apline cars.

Sorry Nick, i have no other pictures currently. I'll have to wait for the car to be at home to make some others (in a few months).

As far as i'm concerned, i like this wing. And anyway, this is the stock wing for 1990 & 1991 951 ;-)

Mine will be alpine white (as the car), as soon as i get my car back

I'm going over to the shop again this morning in about an hour and a half and am bringing a digital camera and my tape-measure, hopefully the badge is still on the car

the distance between the right side tail light and the bottom of the 'urbo'
2 5/8"
between the 'o' and the seam between the quarterpanel and the rear panel?
1"
Bottom of the 'urbo' to the crease in the metal below it: 1 1/2", like Joe says. That puts the top of the 't' and 'b' about 1 5/8" below the crease in the metal above it.

thx waterguy, they'd already removed mine the other day, good thing too, cuz some MORON at the paint-shop delivering tires RAN INTO MY G-D CAR with his truck, right to the left of where the badge used to be.... thank god it was the only sheet-metal part of the car left (besides the roof) and didn't destroy the fiberglass rear quarter..... UGH. oh well at least now i'll know when it comes time to put mine back on that they'v done it right from these #s
