Some filthy dirty little swine has stolen the two BRM badges of each front wing of my car :(
Does anyone one have a couple I could buy?
Message me if you do! Many thanks

I'm paranoid about mine too. Do they come off easily then? Maybe I'll get some vinyl badges made up.

When I removed a set (not stolen lol) they where quite stubborn, I cut a piece of garden wire and worked it behind the badge as the adhesive was not going to move!

I've just got blobs where the adhesive was now. What I don't understand however is why and who would take them. As far as I know there isn't another BRM in my town, as it's a small town. And they were taken from outside my home!And it's a nice area, well ish. What car would they want to put them on instead???

Maybe it was one of the Beaties Boys and he's gonna make a necklace?

Somebody one day nicked the Rover badge of the boot of mine, while it was parked on the drive! Bloody A**holes!
They should all be shot, on the spot!
Expected to pay over the ears for a new one at the dealer but turned out was only 5 euro or so.
OT: sorry Mate, got a spare set but still got a car attached to it!

A vinyl version of the front wing badge, rather like the Prancing Horse decals that you get on a hot red Italian stallion. That is a good idea for anyone wanting something instead of the real badge, for whatever reason. It would also link in with the 'BRM' tailgate decal. Are these currently available through theBRM.co.uk forum?
Alternatively, what is the chance of finding a company that could make up replica front wing badges to the same design, specification and quality as the OEM badges, without charging a fortune? Has this idea ever been investigated? I don't know whether the same process and technology used by Bornunder Princess (Kirsty) for making the smaller lapel badges could be employed for metal wing badges? This is not an area I have any technical knowledge of.

More like a knuckle-duster with the BRM badge as the skin embosser. Imagine having a scrawny little urchin repeatedly embossing BRM all over you after you have refused to hand over your loose change to their meancing ways. Not a kindly thought.
