So looks like one of the SUPERCHARGED badges on one side of my engine cover has escaped. I guess the glue gave way. Apart from finding a replacement cover, anybody happen to know if the badge is used somewhere else and could be ordered on its own ? I don't want to try removing the remaining one to see if it has a part number on the back...

This is for the V6 BTW.

 

Seems like the dealer should do something about it as your car is under warranty.

 

I will ask. I assumed "trim" items were only covered for a year...

 

If they don't, I have a spare cover. Apparently if you take your car in for service without one the dealer assumes they misplaced it

 

I wonder if I could send it in without the seatbelts and have them "replace" them with red ones ;-)

 

Pffft. LOL. They just gave you someone else’s and sent that guy home without one. Hilarious.

 

In reality they probably stole one off of a pre-production demo unit. We've done that before for a few minor items.

 

OMG, this is bad news, missing badge. Lemon law issues? Ask parts dept. for a replacement? No that is too easy....Um, what shall I do? These darn cars!


I know! Order the carbon fiber cover for $5k usd. That's the ticket!

 

Cool your jets sunshine.

My post mentioned nothing about lemon law or other world is falling. Looking at the online catalogs the badge isn't available as a separate part number from the cover hence my question about whether anybody more well travelled than I might recognise it from somewhere else.

If you don't have anything useful to add, save some of them Internet characters for when you need them /s

 

As I'm sure it's not something they keep on the parts shelf, more than likely true ;-)

 

Mina Gallery has Supercharged badges for the F-Type, but I dont know if they are dead identical.

Linky no worky Lance, try this instead: High Line Supercharged Metal Emblem - Mina Gallery Inc
Anyway to these squinty eyes it looks a fair bit different to the OEM badge.

Edit - it's very different, the font is different and the Mina badge is chrome text on black background while the OEM badge is black text on chrome background. And the Mina badge is probably a different size in either length, width or both but hard to tell for sure coz their page doesn't give any measurements.

 

Get the chrome vent inserts. The them you will never see either supercharger badges. But don’t worry, the car is still supercharged on both sides.

 

Best suggestion yet.

 

Well as I have the black pack it makes little sense to go to chrome vent inserts. But my service writer took a look at it, had a chat with the parts guy and I am getting a new engine cover under warranty. We joked that maybe engineering should think about making the badges the same as those on the back of a Range Rover Supercharged so it would be cheaper warranty claims ;-)
