Abarth Badges

Right then, i have just received all my abarth badges in the post. Im unsure as to where i am going to put my little proper abarth badges. I have taken a few pics of where i think they may look ok ( a little bodged as im at work at the minute). Please let me know what you all think and let me know if you have any ideas of your own.

Thanks

Rich

Re: Abarth Badges

IMO depends how many you're sticking on - underneath the side indicators on both sides would look nice..

Btw is it metal? How's the quality?

Re: Abarth Badges

Thanks for the input. One person for each so far then, lol, to make it even harder.

I have got 2 of them. The quality seems fairly good luvduvs. They arent metal, they are some sort of rubber. The only worry i have is of them coming away but that will depend on how well they stick i suppose.

In looking again im thinking either below side repeaters (a bit common though, although probably because they look good there) or on the door pillar. I think behind the rear quarter is just going to look really random.

Re: Abarth Badges

It looks lost in the middle of the C pillar.. I wouldn't go there, though I like bassy-alex's idea. Personally I think below the indicator. To the left of the indicator could look quite nice. Otherwise you can't go wrong on the B pillar

Re: Abarth Badges

I've got the same ones, as you know mine are under the indicators. Dont put them on the rear pillar, i tried that and it just doesn't look right IMO.

They stick really well, mine have done a fair few miles and are yet to fall off lol.

Re: Abarth Badges

Thanks again for the ideas. Im definately forgetting putting them behind the quarters. I think im going to end up being like everyone else and putting them below the side repeaters. I just think they stand out quite nicely against the black on the b pillar.

Also im thinking that when ive got the wheel centres on will it look a bit crowded with the those just above them.

Re: Abarth Badges

lol, I've also got the wheel centres (in black) and i've got Abarth written on the brake callipers and still doesn't look over crowded... IMO anyway.

Sorry for low quality pic, will take new ones soon

Re: Abarth Badges

You know what that potentially means. Ive got to buy 2 more now and see how it looks with them all on, lol. They cost next to nothing though so it will be well worth it.

Re: Abarth Badges

If it were me I wouldn't put so many on as to overdo it, subtlety is key I reckon.

In the middle of the rear quarter does look pretty random though
