Default R Badges

Hey guys its been a while, anyways wanted to get some of your opinions on changing out my side and trunk R badges. They are getting to the point now where they need replacement, the "plasticy" protectant stuff is starting to peel off and i was thinking of changing it up and replacing them with this style:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Not sure what models these are off of but i think they will look better or at least give the car a little change from the originals. Couple things,

1) Are they curved correctly to fit on the trunk, the S Type has a pretty good curve on its as*, and would rather not have to build it up with some 3M tape

2) Seem very expensive, checked Arden and Mina but they dont have them. Know anywhere else that carry these for less $$$.

thanks

I like this guy. He has some cool stuff for Jaguars. Plus his "R" badges are much cheaper than the dealer!!! Only $20 each.

Thanks, i just emailed him to see if he had access to the other style. Also it seems as though they only have one size, and the sides are smaller than the rear. i have a feeling this is going to be a pain in the butt to get what im looking for.

How are you going to remove the badges? I need to replace mine also but I'm not sure how to do it.

Just heat them up with a hair dryer, and use a saw motion on the adhesive with dental floss. After the badge is off use some goo gone or heat again and peel with your hands. Very simple to do. Good luck

I think the R without the box will look great (link i posted earlier). Doing some research to see where i can get them for a reasonable price.
