Title: Replacing a swivel badge
Post by: Italian Supermodel on February 27, 2015, 11:54:07 PM
Hi, I've picked up a new boot badge for my 2003 Spider and was hoping to put it on over the weekend. I had a look today at the lock mechanism and it offers not many straightforward clues other than a difficult to access small circlip.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
By the way I'm only replacing the badge.

This is how you do it on a 156, I suspect it's similar.
Buy a replacement circlip before you lose the original now  :)

If you are replacing the badge just because the emblem as faded, and not because the mechanism is busted, you can purchase a metal emblem with adhesive backing which sticks over the old faded one.

Not one for the purists, but looks ok as long as it is centred correctly.
