I think the new '40 years' 996 wears it also.

Though presumably it says '40 jahre' instead.

Still, nothing a bit of Lettraset wouldn't fix.

I won't ask why... ;-)

It's interesting (well, I think so...) that these limited editions are the only 911s to be so badged since the SC.

Cheers

They're available through my favorite UK shop, Type 911.

At 60 GBP, it's seems like quite a good value.

What is involved in removing the old and installing the new?

I saw the silver 964 with this mod at:

It definately looks very attractive! I have wondered about changing my black Carerra4 badge to a silver one!

If i remember correctly they are just stuck on there with tape - so you can saw off the old badge with dental floss and remove any old adhesive with 3M adhesive remover - better do the whole deck lid as it removes wax as well. - Install with the supplied adhesive tape (should be on the badge already) and re-wax Ze Renn Wagon
hope that helps

that would have been my diamond blue 964!

Anyway, absolutely easy, as mentioned above, just remove old one with dental floss and some citrus degreaser to get rid of the glue, then pull the backing off the 30 Jahre badge and smack the thing on the car.

Just align the whole thing up from side to side. The spacing between the 911 etc is all taken care off as the badge is delivered with a plastic sheet to which it is mounted on both sides- you peel the backing off and place the badge on the car, and once mounted, you peel the covering off (that held the badge spacing etc in place), and its done (bit like a lettraset transfer)....

what! GBP60 to increase the value of your car to £25K? There is nothing wrong with that surely? (Apart from having to disarm the wallet alarm)

Saw a red 993 in Parker and Parker, Kendal. The boy had stuck on a 911 badge above the Carrera 2, and he had touched in the shadowing on the 911 lettering in red.
It looked stupid.

Paul,

I've replaced the blach carrera 2 badge with the silver 30 years aniversary badge and it looks like a million bucks!!!!

easy to remove the old one with hairdryer and dental floss, clean the lid carefully and stick on the new badge - 30 mins work ....

I've bought the badge here at the OPC I thoughht it was Euro 100 or something.

I have made a comparison image of my car with the original C4 badge vs. Silver C4 Badge vs. 911 30yr celebration badge. it is located here:

http://forums.rennlist.com/cgi-bin/upload/upload.cgi

The 30 year looks very good imo, but somehow I feel some slight misgivings about changing from the original stock! Hmmm....
