I noticed that my Porsche crest bonnet badge is delaquering and just looks really old. Does anyone know if its easy to remove and fit a new crest? I suspect its very easy so apologies if this makes everyone groan!

From memory - lift the bonnet, undo two nuts. Lift it off.

 

i've got a feeling that theyre not normal nuts but possibly rivet heads and as the bonnet is double skinned there difficult to get at. I'll go check!

 

plastic nuts . 8mm or 10mm . bitch to get too !!
theyre tucked in the double skinned bit ........
would i be right in saying they're behind the foreskin ?

 

correct, they are behind! need a torch too. at least i know theyre nuts not rivets - thanks

 

with hindsight , i'm kinda glad you didnt carry on the foreskin conversation . instead , choosing to talk about your nuts !!!

 

i honestly hadnt noticed - i am very innocent

 

Mine were pretty easy - it just takes an extension bar.

 

i'm embaressed to say .............. i actually gave up on this job !!!

totally stripped and rebuilt my 964 , and was defeated by a little poxy bonnet badge !!

left it to the bodyshop guy that was putting things back together when i was away from uk .

 

but , i did do that superglue thing for getting the gasket to stay in position

 

thats so funny - and there was me thinking i must be a total buffoon for not being able to figure it out in a few minutes

 

my excuse is that i didnt have the correct tools to hand

mines black too , with shiney wheels and stuff .
i thought about getting a silver badge , i think they look cool on a black car

 

anyone have any pics of a silver badge (on black bonnet preferrably!)

 

I have silver on Midnight Blue Met... pretty dark color but not black. Not a great pic anyhow. Here ya go.

BTW, I thought the nuts were easy with a 1/4" drive ratchet or a nut driver. The rubber "gasket" behind it is very difficult to get stretched around the badge to fit. Very difficult.

 

excellent - many thanks for the pic, looks great

this is beginning to sound like a job for a specialist (not me)
